hello.  i'm new this is my first post.  i just got my first guitar a couple weeks ago (i'm 48).  just something i've been wanting to do for my own pleasure, but MAN it's sooooo hard!  i didn't realize how hard it would be.  i have a new found appreciation for guitarists.  i'm going to start lessons after the holidays but have been dabbling a bit on my own.  chordie has helped.  i've been working for three days now on learning three chords!  seems ridiculous!  my fingertips are killing me for one, getting my fingers positioned exactly right so i'm not muting the other strings is also killing me.  it's hard to believe this is ever going to flow when it takes me like 30 seconds to get my fingers in just the right position to play one chord.  ah well, i'm trying not to get discouraged...just needed to vent!
