will have a look into it, im still fumbling up the strings a few times, dont really have long fingers so is a bit hard to reach certain string/chords, but i guess given time i'll get better!

how much is fret oil?

I believe the term is

"I got blissters on my fingers"

You will find the first few times hurt but after that the ends of your fingers go hard and it becomes a lot easier.
