I just started playing guitar. My fingers are almost bleeding. I’ve heard from different people that with time you’ll develop calluses. Are there any covers for the fingertips or something so my fingers don’t hurt and don’t get calluses?

How often should a guitar player soak the hands in warm water to prevent calluses?

I just started playing guitar again, and am trying to grow calluses. Im leaving for two weeks and cant take my guitar. Is there anyway I can work my finger to where i can still build up calluses?
