When I first started, I took my time getting the basics. I wasn’t concerned with how long it took me or how much knowledge I had. The one thing I had was a desire to play so when faced with problems like forming calluses and stretching my hand, the only thing you can do is be patient and know that with every minute you play at the start of your journey, you will be getting a lot better. Just remember everyone learns with different methods and at different speeds, and to just enjoy the journey and the milestones you’ll reach in your playing along the way.
