Guitar???

Yes, it`s normal for your fingers to go through an adjustment period ,but they will toughen up. Yes, learn your chords, learn your scales, and learn songs, especially songs that are familiar to you. This will help you learn to pick out sounds on your guitar and relate them to songs you know.

I've know about chords but scales is something I have not ventured into. I don't know what they are. I'm sure I can find out via internet but maybe give me example.

Yes. Your fingertips will callous up. Once you have been playing for some time they will get thick enough that not only will you lose feeling but temperature sensation as well. My family is amazed at how I can pick up very hot pots and dishes and not feel a thing. And since I travis-pick and play classical it is both hands.

I bet classical is pretty hard to learn and play.
