Hello Gareth, a very warm welcome to JustinGuitar and the Community.
As a new beginner you have much ahead of you. See that as a future of fun and music yet to unfold and take each step at a time as you work through the lessons of the beginner course. There are many folk here to hep so ask if you have questions.
Cheers

Welcome to the forum Gateth
Hey Gareth, welcome to the community. When I first started playing my plan was to play 15 minutes a day but I could only play for 5 minutes before my fingers hurt too much to continue. So I did that 3 times a day until the calluses started to develop. Can’t remember how long that took but it wasn’t all that long. Keep at it, it’s worth it.

Welcome Gareth
Like they used to say No Pain No Gain but the good news is it will be temporary (a good few weeks or so) and after that its all gain. Just take your time, there’s a long road ahead but a hell of a journey !
If it makes you feel better, I have only been playing 6 weeks and now have callouses and virtually no finger pain. Rest assured it gets better quickly. Good luck
Hello Gareth, so nice to have you here 
.
Fingerpain is a big thing within the very first weeks. Hold your practice time short to avoid unnecessary suffering. It will get better soon.
Enjoy your guitar journey

Welcome Gareth 
welcome Gareth, Finger pain will get away soon, unless you are going to play for hours.
Hi Gareth and welcome.
I feel your pain, or should I say used to! Took me about 4 weeks.
Enjoy your new adventure.

Garett, welcome to the community forum. The finger pain will get better in a few weeks. Just follow Justin’s plan and don’t practice over 20 minutes at first. You can practice even less for the first week until you start to get calluses. Good luck.
