Welcome to the board Emalze, I'm fairly new myself and everyone I talk with seems to stress practicing/learning new chords for starters. Smooth changes and a fairly large 'library' will take one far I've found.

Hi Emalze. What GZen says is right. Your fingertips will hurt like hell but you need to keep playing and practising (even if not for so long and a little gentler) for the skin to harden up. You could try dipping your fingertips in metholated spirits, some say it speeds up hardening the skin.
