@jcf , The way I read your question, I think you asking about your finger tips on your fretting hand. It takes a week or two to get through the toughening up period (sometimes longer) but they will toughen and callouses will develop. Hang in there and know that the hardest part is behind you. We all go through it and nobody likes it. The good news is you only have to go through it once as long as you keep playing.
