Sorry :( it hurts for a couple months BUT! you should also spend time playing power chords to get used to the form/fretboard while only using the lowest 2-3 notes in a bar chord. You can also learn triads along the top 3 strings for some really useful chord shapes that will also connect back to your bar chord playing later.

yay to new hobbies! best thing is to try not to get ahead of yourself. start with basic songs with easy 4 chord progressions. get the hang of strumming, switching hand positions, etc. then you can start to level up to bar chords, tabs, finger-picking, and more! ultimate-guitar.com and youtube tutorials are especially useful in these stages. but be patient with yourself, and enjoy the time you spend with your mind entirely focused on the thing in your hands and not roaming elsewhere. what a treat:)

this is my third semester taking weekly guitar lessons, but admittedly I have not practiced much in the past. that changes NOW. my fingers hurt and I keep making mistakes but it will be worth it <3 I think 2025 is the year to do challenging things. And, anyway, this guitar isn't going to play itself...
