I've had many younger (elementary/middle school) students try many different ways to get past this sore finger deal. Nylon, lighter guage,electric guitar,...

Thomas - Yes, indeed, nylon does in fact replace catgut, or sheepgut strings. You can still get intestine stings from some people that specialize in that sort...

Here is one link I have found that I like. It has instructions that are ment not only for the advance but beginners and in between. It is mostly essay's.. but...
