Acoustic guitar for beginner

A guarantee with starting playing guitar: It will hurt. A lot. Pressing steel strings down to the fretboard take a surprising amount of effort, and it will cause the fingers and wrist of the fretting hand to ache, and the tips of the fingers to hurt for a while. It is something that needs perseverance, Within a month it won't ache much, though prolonged playing will still be slightly painful, it'll take a good year or so before the pain goes. Encourage her to stick with it though, it's well worth it.
