Is there a way to learn to play the guitar without losing a layer of skin on my fingertips?!

@Jinqs , how flexible are your feet? ๐Ÿ™ƒ๐Ÿ˜‰

@Jinqs they have these rubber fingertip things but that's cheating

@Render @Jinqs Holy smokes! No way! Could've used that piece of info 3 months ago ๐Ÿ˜† Better late than never.

@Render @Jinqs thanks. Iโ€™ve never heard of them. They would make a super fine gift for my hubby.

@Jinqs Nope ๐Ÿ˜† I consider it flesh sacrifice to the guitar gods at this point. Learning myself 3 months into it. It gets better but definitely painful for a bit.

@Jinqs your body learns to "toughen up" the skin as it's a constant thing happening to your fingertips.

@Jinqs

โ€˜Tis the price we all must pay. Avoid the alternatives and the comfortable ways. You will be rewarded. ๐ŸŽธ

In all seriousness, it sucks but if you stick it out, it will get better.
