New 6 String Acoustic (Pics)

My fingers are KILLING me.

You must build those calluses up!

I'm still playing it. Getting better. I can play things that resemble music.

Video or it didn't happen!

Not good enough for that yet, and my fingers hurt too bad to practice.

Just keep at it, right now is the hardest part, it will keep getting easier after things seem to bottom out.

Nah, it's not too hard right now. I'm just learning chords and practicing. When I'm learning, I'm sober. When I'm practicing/jamming, I get high. I can play for hours. My fingers are really starting to callous over, and it takes longer every day for them to start hurting. I had to have been going a good 2-3 hours yesterday before they started hurting again.

I haven't made a ton of progress on any songs, because I'm still trying to learn the chords well enough to play them instinctively. No point in learning a song if I can't play it at the speed that it is meant to be played. I did accidently start learning Nutshell, because I was playing around trying to find things that sounded good with the chords I knew, and just happened to start playing something that sounded remarkably like Nutshell.
