This guitar thing is tough

In February, I pulled the trigger on a new guitar. My very first one. As I said on the video I made 











http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ayUAdggtHXA&feature=plcp  I was, and still am, very intimidated by this instrument. For a very long time I had longed to learn to play the guitar but I never seemed to make it a big priority. I have always marveled at how guitar players strummed and played their guitar so seemingly effortlessly.


Now that it's been a few weeks removed from picking up my guitar for the first time, I seem to have become a bit more comfortable with it. Just a bit. I've managed to learn the basic Major chords plus a few others. Enough actually to be able to play a few songs, although not very well. Just need more practice. Practice, that's been a problem in an of itself. There are some days that I don't get to practice at all. And, that pisses me off. However, I'm trying to get the most out of the time I do get to practice. In time I intend to contribute to the endless Youtube cacophony of people playing their guitar.
