    They're actually nylon strings. The chords that I find hard are the ones where I have to cover multiple strings in one fret and then stretch my pinky to another fret. The pads of my fingers always interfere with other strings. I guess I'll get used to it.

    No matter what I do, E7 never sounds quite right.

    Yeah, one reason Ive given guitar up 5 times is because I jambke the strings up switching chords. Even nylon strings though will hurt your fingers in the beginning. A trick I do is when I pick up a guitar and want to get like at least 3 days serious with it I run my fingers up and down pushing the frets until my fingertips hurt and go numb and then I do that a few times a day for the first day and then next day the same they'll be really sorez then a rest day and then start practicing.

    I am half serious about doing my mid section exercises after this hot bath. I'm not looking forward to it, but I've only been putting it off because of the pain the next two days, so I ought as well get it over with.

    I get it. I picked up guitar in high school. I took a guitar class and I dropped it after a week because my learning style is different than how the teacher would do it. I think it's hard to teach 30 kids how to play guitar at once without some falling behind. I fell behind so much and I was crammed with so many chords in one day I'd forget what I learned the day before.

    That's a good tip though about the strings. I feel like I have to take a day between serious practice sessions because my fingers are numb. I try to memorize a few chords and spend a few days on that, maybe play a simple song with those chords before I move on, so I don't immediately forget what I just memorized.
