I got callouses within 3 days of starting to play. You don't know him, so don't call him a liar.

There is no way he can play everyday for that long and learn that many songs when in the initial stages of learning.

Human fingers cannot withstand that much abuse when not fully calloused.

Why do you guys let this bother you so much? If he posts something, and it is a little off, are you going to call him a liar and tell him he sucks? He may think he has them down, but maybe he learned them wrong, or maybe it just sounds good to him.

The point is - get off his back. Stop worrying about other people's playing levels.

yeah, plus it would be a complete waste of time and totally pointless for anyone to come on hear to these boards and post lies....there's really no reason, as this site is meant to help people, that to lie would be just totally counterproductive...i'd have to give the benefit of the doubt to the newbie... although i would like to hear some clips

All that post said to me was he was fishing for compliments. So here's mine...

I don't think anyone is worrying, just questioning. If someone claims to be good after only playing for a month, then it must be backed up with proof. We probably scared the kid away anyway.
