When you first learn to play the guitar whether it's an electric or an acoustic you can expect some pain and dis-comfort for awhile(especially with an acoustic guitar) until the tips of your fingers start to callus(get harder).The more you practice/play the faster your finger tips will get used to it.Some folks prefer the gentle approach by learning on a classical guitar because the nylon strings are much more forgiving.You can also try some extra lite gauge strings,this will help some.I remember when I started out "on acoustic" and learned the open "d" major chord.Ouch! I thought I'd never get it! But with time,persistence and regular practice the pain slowly went away.I believe a lot of beginners give up for this very reason! I still to this day get a little pain if I play for a long period of time,but it's because most of the time I use medium gauge strings which are thick like barbed wire,but with great tone!
Don't give up!
