First Day of Playing
Hello everyone and thank you for this opportunity to seek help in my journey to mastering this instrument. I've received my father's guitar yesterday on indefinite loan & just started learning some basic chords today. This site is wonderful! Kirk's lesson1 for beginners has already helped me tremendously. Today's experience has been very gratifying (and, yes, a bit frustrating too). My fingers hurt, so I've stopped for the day and thought I should introduce myself before I go. I'm sure I'll posting now & again with progress reports!

Welcome. I remember myself trying to ignore pain and play, I kinda didn't pay attention - like "Well, it can't hurt more" style...
