Hi,
Might be a stupid question, but are my finger tips supposed to be both dead and painful at the same time?
My problem is that playing any chord on the top fret is killing my fingertips. I'm not sure if its because its a cheap uke (and presumably cheap strings), I'm squeezing too hard or practising for too long (2 hrs doesn't feel too long?).
I've only had the uke 2 days. My son, a guitar player, says I'm just being a wimp!
I feel a bit stupid asking, but any advice would be gratefully received.
Thanks,
Smudge
