Answer 3

Get a nylon-stringed guitar...hurts a little less.

Play only what you like to play.

Learn as many chords as you can.

Stick to it.

Answer 4

i've been playing guitar for three years now and when i started my fingertips felt like they were on fire for about a week. for the hand that you strum with you can use a pick but you probably won't have to because the hand that will hurt is theone you play chords and notes with. you just have to build up some calis and that will happen pretty quick.
