practice schedule?

If you are brand new to guitar, the first thing to do is build up the callouses on your fingertips, if you are playing an acoustic some ultra-light strings (10s) will hurt less, most electrics have pretty light strings. Try to break up your practice sessions into smaller blocks like 15-20 minutes a few times a day is better than 1 hour straight. Try to learn to properly finger some open chords, learn the notes on the first few frets, work on your strumming patterns, as you learn things try to understand why it works like that.
