What to do with hurting hands
Play softly, focus on placement and shape of chords, but not pushing down hard enough to make a clean sound- half muted sounds nice, too! : )
Collect a variety of songs with easy chord changes. When it really hurts, go to C-Am-F-G7
Practice strumming with muted strings. Practice fingerpicking with muted strings.
Learn the fretboard. Oh joy!
