thats really killing my fingers lol, ive been playing about 15 months now, and for some reason my calices (not sure on spelling lol) havent come yet on my fingers. before i started work a few months ago id play for about 4 hours a day, now i only get about 2 hours in on weekdays, and about 4 on weekends

That's awesome! Keep it up. I don't practice as much as I used to. I play 4-5 nights a week for about 3 hours a night. I teach three afternoons a week. I sometimes don't want to even think about music for a while. Your callouses will come, don't you worry. Whatever you do, don't pick at the blisters that may develop. The skin will harden. I can almost strike a match on my fingertips! LOL Thank you so much for watching. Take care.

by far the best teacher i've found on youtube

[TehSneakyFox]

Yea really nice Video! And I'll be sure to try those Ernie Ball Regular Slinkies. I have a feeling I'll be needing new strings soon so now I have a little direction to go in!

[NightXemnas]

Hey, Joe, or anyone else reading this, for some reason, my strings only seem to bend up half a step at max. Even if I use two hands to bend the string, It just snaps... =( I tried adjusting the action and making the strings really loose, but nothing seems to help.

[MonkeysOnRiot]

ah my fingers... these are usefull though

[maazisworld]

Very well done!!!

[2wall2of2numbers2]

Good video, though I've never had luck with full-step bends. I don't know if it's because my finger muscles need development or if my string tension is too high, but I've never been able to apply them below the 12th fret.
