It depends, to a large degree, how you practice. I find my fingers develop some soreness if I concentrate on right hand exercises for long durations. That's because I spend more time holding chord positions during these studies. Holding a chord tends to make my finger tips hurt more readily. What I do now is mix up my practice with right hand work and left hand work. In other words, rest my left hand "gripping" for short periods of time before they develop soreness. This seems to work a lot better for me.

Of course all this goes out the window win you play with your friends for three or four hours. But it certainly is worth it.
