i'm still new at playing guitar but i practice alot and the metal guitar strings really hurt my fingers to the point where i can't practice for a while what can i do?
I mean the fingers i use on the fret board.
I had that too at the beginning but there's really not much you can do. Just try to practice daily for about half an hour and you'll develop calluses pretty fast. After that it shouldn't hurt too much any more. Just don't torture yourself by playing too long at the beginning but don't give up on it either. But taping your fingers up doesn't really help because you'll keep slipping of the strings and it's just a weird feeling.
