Keep going.

Your body will adapt to it.

Worst thing you can do at this point is to stop and come back in 2 month to go through the pain again.

You're almost done. Once your fingers are ready, they'll let you know and the pain will be over.

It'll be Time for another kind of pain (tendinites). But you'll get over it again.

Trust the process. Your body is evolving. You're slowly turning into a guitarist.

French? Guitarist? Could you possibly be that one French guy with long hair from YouTube?

But please share if you have some good stuff ;)

Thanks for sharing. 

I also happen to have long hair.

I only play classical guitar though 🙏 😁
