Pain in the fingertip due to playing the guitar

Especially beginners, whose fingers are not yet used to constantly pressing down the strings, can feel pain after playing the guitar for a long time. This is not unusual and should subside over time due to a grown corneal layer on the fingertip. There are a few home remedies to make guitar playing more bearable, such as dipping your fingers in apple vinegar for 30 seconds before and after playing, or using creams containing benzocaine, a local anesthetic. Generally, in this situation it helps to take regular breaks and practice for shorter periods of time, but more often – and of course patience!
