Hey, I just started playing the first of the year so I am a brand newbie. 1 I am having touching the G and E strings when trying only to press on the B string. I was wondering if there are some excercises I can do to help me ge over that or if it will just come in time?

2 My fingers also hurt (of course) so occaisionally I will take a day off to let them heal a little. I believe I can feel the calouses beginning to form but not sure yet. Any thoughts?
