Finger Trenches

Started guitar less than two weeks ago wanting to learn outlaw country like Johnny Cash and Colter Wall. Good lord are these finger trenches annoying, i know i know “fight through it” but godamn i have to press harder and harder. The pain isn’t even what bothers me, it’s the fact that i can’t let a string ring out anymore because the string just takes place in the divot in my finger. Anyways just came here to ramble. Having a lot of fun learning Prairie Evening/ Sagebrush Waltz by Colter Wall, beautiful song. Moved to Tennessee recently so hope to be fairly decent by mid summer so I can play out on my porch✌️ Thanks for reading.
