Playing for just 2 weeks on a acoustic student guitar - so I wouldn't like to claim I have a style yet. (Somewhere between Nic Jones & Jimmy Page in my imagination) Remembering/finding a dozen chords has been easier than I thought it would be - but finding them quickly enough to keep the tune going.... o well ..... keep practicing.

Apologies if this is thread creep ....The pain in the surface of my fingers eased fairly quickly, but it remains in lower skin levels - can alcohol affect below the very top layer ???? Or when a callous forms - will that help protect lower layers? Experienced players have all been very keen to show off their callouses (BG)
