Well done you two. Very short and the video was crackling!,, I take it that will be included in the next kids book by our eminent kids author?     

Ignore those nay sayers! They are most likely those that couldn't write a wrong let alone an hilarious poem like this. Listen to your friends on Chordie.     

Hello Cristian, welcome to Chordie.  If you check the headings you'll see we have a lot of resources right here. As for technique all you need do is ask. There are a lot of videos on YouTube that can show you strumming patterns etc. Ask as many questions as you like and let us know how you get on.

Hey Pedr. A mate of mine uses a tennis ball sized exercise ball to strengthen his fingers. Myself I practise scales to keep my fingers nimble, which I should have been doing 50 years ago but I was in too much of a hurry. I begin with the key of G on the 6th string all the way up using all the strings till I get to G on the 1st string on the 15th frett. Then back down and so on through all major and minor keys. Then practise chords. But I think exercise is key. Failing that have you thought about slide/bottle neck?     

I'm sorry to say this but the more you play the less pain you'll get. Once your finger tips harden it wont matter what guage strings you use. Light guage 10 or under, are easier to bend, which if you are a beginner might make your guitar sound out of tune even if it's not. Heavy guage 12 and up will be harder to press down behind the fretts. Electric guitars are easier to play than acoustic guitars. Also the hight of the strings above the fretts (the action) will play a big part. If you have a good guitar and you can afford it, take it to the music shop you bought it and ask them to set it up for you, or if you know of a good guitar doctor.
I hope these were the tips and answers you were looking for.     

Hi Jim. No pure fiction, I like making stories up     

Pedr,  it must be difficult to write in that straight jacket you must be wearing?

I liketh not this rapping folly
Me thinks it raineth so bring a brolly
Yon sun may shine, but dark clouds loom
Pray good fellow, grant a boon
When miscreants rant and ner-do-wells stammer
You know I'm armed with the Chordie ban hammer!
Beware ye cut purse and rapid exclaimer
My digit poised and I'm a good aimer

The end     

Brian, I agree with most of what you're saying, I know I couldn't live like that so Pedr, I don't fit your paradigm, never seen that word on Chordie before and I don't know what it means but I thought it beares repeating. Your poem is thought provoking , intelligent and would work as a ...God forgive me for saying this...rap song!     

Nice one Joey. Long may your sobriety last and your health improve.     

Now girls play nice!

I can't give you any links at this time as its Sunday morning and I had  long tiring day yesterday, so as I covered a lot of songs in the day, here are my favourite to covers:

Don't stop believing

Singing the blues

I saw her standing there

Apache

And many others

Curse of verse you are most wrong
Some of your rhymes most certainly pong
Chordie readers will all agree
That your demise will make us bleed
Never leave this hallowed place
Please both stay with God's own grace
Rock us with your charming wit
And please leave out the swear words
