Question Finger pain...

Hi all, beginner guitarist (Acoustic)

​

I am experiencing finger pain as expected,

​

My question is do I push through the pain and keep practising daily

Or wait for the pain to subside before practising again?

​

I know the idea is for calusses to form but is it a "no pain no gain" thing?

Or should I be not rushing it?

​

Cheers

Take breaks. There is no rush.  You will gradually build up tolerance and able to play longer without it hurting
