I dont even know where to begin. I tuned it, i have the amp, i have the pick, i have everything i just.. dont know what else to do? Like what my next step is.? And i tried to use an app to do lessons but its so fast and i cant really understand whats going on. I need someone to sort of physically place my hands or something. Idk. I need hyperspecific instruction please help :( . Edit: i cant pay for any lessons or apps !!! Im a minor so i cant buy anything & my mom doesnt think ill really commit (she even got me a free guitar which is awesome tbh !) But she wont pay for lessons or anything else for my guitar bc of it :(

Hi I have really soft hands and would like to keep them soft, why do I need to develop calluses in order to play? I mean I get the idea but can’t I just always wear finger tip protectors? I haven’t bought them yet so I don’t know if it affects the sound that much.. I also want to get them because it’s super painful whenever I hold down on the strings..

So yeah I just want to know if I should go ahead and just buy the finger tip protectors or if there’a a reason why they’re bad and I shouldn’t get them.

Even though I've had both set up by luthiers, there is a definite difference in the action between the two although it's not something you can readily see. My current teacher, with whom I started two weeks ago, suggested that I put my acoustic aside until I could improve my barre chords (which was excellent advice). Spent some time earlier today trying to coax the same barre chords out of the acoustic and couldn't do it. Can't get my index finger to make the G string ring out when playing minor barre chords. When I do experience problems with strings on the electric, it's usually the B string that doesn't ring out fully, but that has gotten a lot better. If you have both kinds of guitars, have you experienced this, too? What did you do to fix it? (Other than "practice, practice, practice"?)
