Keep it up! I started playing guitar in November in my 50s. I play about 1-2 hours a day and I break up my sessions into smaller sessions due to work. Honestly, my fingers still hurt and I have the calluses. My guitars are set up properly. I suspect that i am still pushing down too hard to fret and I am learning to be more gentle when fretting. I have guitars with heavy and light strings, they still ache. I suspect a little discomfort here or there is going to happen but who knows since I have only been playing a short time. My friends who have been playing longer say it will get better but fingers will hurt playing long stretches . . . it seems worth it . . .
