I've been picking up the electric guitar for the past few weeks and I've been really enjoying it, but christ are my fingers sore 😭. The bottom three strings are like pressing my fingers into cheese cutter wire.

What's the solution? Just have to wait for your skin to get tougher?

Yeah, you have to play and build up calluses on the tips of your fingers.

Avoid doing dishes by hand, too. Gloves if you have to, protect those calluses at all costs.

Let us know when you’ve nailed Kill the King (imo Blackmore at the top of his game).

I'm showing my age, but I read this and thought "wait, did Megadeath have a different guitarist at some point", but no you're talking about a band I hadn't heard of.

Absolute lad. I'm going to knock this degree course shit on the head (hopefully) in a few months, and I've always fancied a bass guitar.

Might invest in some entry level Squire love and a cheap amp and start annoying the neighbours.

At the end of the day, it's their fault if they don't like Fleetwood Mac isn't it.
