like they all said, evetually ur fingers will callus up and ull be fine

ya if its chore for to keep up with id say give it up but, u definitly going to have to practice, sometimes u might get bored, stop what ur doing and take a little break or even change what ur working on...id suggest warm up drills before u practise/play each time, theres all kind of scales and progressions u can play that will build ur fretting skills as well as picking,

when i first started playing i set a routine
10 minutes warm up
5-10 min drills
15 minutes of screwing around, playing w/e i wanted,
then i reviewed a few songs i know
after that i spent how ever long it took to learn a song or even a peice of a song
and then i did another 5-10 min drill session

i probally played for 1-3 hours a day, if u have deditcation ull soon find a hobby ull love and be able to do for a long time. if u start getting bored or w/e just set it down and come back in a bit
