Well that is cool, I am self taught too....and my fingers usually give up a way before I do I need to invent something to place on the tips when they get that bad....lol I tried small band-aids once, just so I could play longer....it worked for a short while...I swear the stupid things people try when they are learning....and can't get enough....too funny!
my fingers have gone soft leather now and well pleased no more blisters what helped me was using "surgical spirit" alittle on finger tips works wonders.. But shhhhhhhhh
don't tell anyone LOL and even better for me changing my guitar and using low gage strings . No more pressing hard on strings I treated myself to a Sigma Martin DN1ST N Best thing I ever did makes playing a whole lot better..

Hey vxn911.
Coming up 35 years for me. Funnily enough, NELA, I started because I wanted to be adored by the female populace!
I'm from the centre of the known universe - Priddy, UK.
I mainly accompany myself so I can sing and try to play stuff that I like, makes me sound reasonably proficient and that people like to hear! Finger picking is best but I do use a pick.
hi vxn,
I am 39 from Scotland. Been playing guitar about 19 years maybe 20 or 21. I cannot really remember when i changed from bass guitar to guitar.
I am mostly self taught after a few pointers from a friend with a few chords to get me started.
And still to this day I am learning new stuff all the time.

Howdy Vxn911 and greetings from the "lower 48", (no offense intended)
Oregon, USA! The edge of civilization? Anyway 54 winters in age, Male, and been playing at this thing over 35 years.... and still learning. I firmly believe that music is a lifelong process of scholarship, which is worth seeking at any stage of life. Still regretting not having learned more of the theory in the early years.
Take Care;

Hey Leodragon.

Hi, 53 year old male, from Lancashire UK. I've been playing (making a noise) for all of 5-6 weeks, started lessons about 2 weeks ago to keep me pointing in the right direction.
Whern I started playing there was no such thing as steel strings and we had to use dinasaur gut for our strings .
Seriously, 62 year old male and started playing then I was 11.

Im an 18 year old female, been playing around 5 years now, self taught like alot of folks on here I see. I'd say I'm starting to get the hang of it finally lol.
43 year old male in the U.S. Been playing guitar THIS time shy of three years. Self-taught from books, chord charts, and watching folks play. I played bass guitar for a few years before picking the guitar back up. I took lessons on that instrument. I played at harmonica for a while and mostly only pull them out once or twice a year so I am perpetually rusty AND poorly practiced. It doesn't sound all that good. They're on my "one of these days" list. There's only so many hours in a day, and what time I have to dedicate to music goes to guitar playing now. I don't really practice, which is a cautious and studied approach to learning. Mostly I just bang on the thing and see what noises come out.

I'm in beautiful British Columbia Canada, been playing since about 13 years old, now 38. (I suck at math).
Recently, I picked up a Simon and Patrick Folk guitar and want to play mostly fingerpicking songs so came on this site to find more songs to learn!
Cheers.
Hi vxn911
Surfice to say I've been playing for more years than I care to mention... (but not as long as Roger or Russ )

I'm 36 from Georgia U.S. I've been teaching myself guitar for the past 10 years or so but seriously for the past 2 years. I learn something new on it every time i pick it up.
I'm 19 from New Jersey:), I've only been teaching myself to play the guitar for about a month- still just trying to figure out chords and such. It's hard because I've been playing ukulele for about 7 months now so my fingers are used to not having to stretch.
Im 27 and I live in new Mexico. Ive been playing guitar since I was 10 or 12, self taught for the most part. Started off on the viola then bass. male, the last time I checked.
I come from a land down under! 44 yr old female. learnt theory from 8 yr old which didnt seem to go down in the jammin world. keep playing and your fingers will harden up. loving this site of like minded people.
