My Fingers Hurt!

<div class="IPBDescription">Been trying to play guitar.</div> I just learned how to play the intro to Knives Out, and boy are my fingers tired!

I know there is a huge difference between playing dumbed-down tabs and actually knowing how to play guitar, but is it supposed to be this addictive? I seriously wanna get a guitar of my own (was borrowing one) and start hammering away on some chords now.

Anyone else had any similar experiences?

    Yes.

    My fingers itch for a guitar that cannot break and makes people grow horns out of their heads. Unfortunately, those don't exist so I can just stick to looking for a guitar.

    Playing the guitar is very fun. Even better though is performing for other people. It's a huge rush. That might not apply to everyone but I love it.

    Bass is easy. If you want TO BE A REAL MAN you must learn to play Lead Guitar.

    lead guitar is a bit too 'bandwagon-y' for me.
    I play drums because barely anyone else in my school did.

    And what makes you say bass is easy? do you have any proof of this?

    Yeah, it's mainly reason why I might pick it up. Because almost no one else does it. And besides, I prefer playing bass instead of being lead <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Bass guitar is easy as hell, learn to play lead / ryth guitar and you'll be able to play bass also.
