When you're first starting out on the guitar, your finger WILL hurt. No worries though because this is normal. Since your finger are soft, the strings with create dents and painful marks on your fingertips and possible even blisters. After a few days  of playing, you should start to notice your skin toughening up. There are called callouses and they will help you grip on the string while you're playing. After a long time of playing the guitar, your fingertips will be fully toughened and you should be able to play with no troubles at all!
