    Neat! It's a really cool hobby.

    And yes, your fingers are supposed to feel numb until they build up callouses.

    I got an acoustic, but I definately want to get an electric one in the future. I only had 20 minutes to choose one because the store was closing up. I got a Northland acoustic with a cut out. :)
    yay!



    .... and whats this about Calluses????

    Guitar eh? I've always wanted to play guitar...but I've been playing drums for a few years instead. Someone should organize a jam session. I've only gotten to play with other people a couple times but it was definitely alot of fun.

    About calluses...you'll defintely get them from playing guitar...especially if you're not using a pick.

    I have an electric and acoustic with me. I've been playing on and off for a bit, so I'm not very good at all. I know a few songs but mostly play it just during leisure time. I'd certainly like to get better at it, but I find I don't have the motivation to sit down for several hours a day to practice.

    Jamming is cool though, just need a bass player too =P

    hahaa..well if anyone's ever up for it or knows a way to organize it, I'd be down for that.

    k so i'm getting worried, is calluses inevitable? I just looked at some pictures of calluses on google, and its nasty looking. Its really scary, i'm adding it to the list of things i'm scared of... :(

    i played the violin and i got some major calluses...it happens with string instruments..
    my calluses weren't that bad. most of the time it's more like...hardened skin on the tips of your fingers...well at least that's how mine was.
