practice picking

Picking is soooo hard!!! my fingers are numb from all the calluses that have developed on the pads of my fingers. I even have a cute cyst like callus on my thumb ( which is painful ladies and gents). But still practicing, still getting there but not quite there. Also need to remember the rule of 1 finger for each fret, and not just depend on 1 index finger alone. One good song to practice picking, Where ever you will Go by The Calling, which incidently was what my guitar teacher told me to. I'm now learning Break Me by Jewel..not as easy as it looks!!!
