Hi from an absolute beginner

I'm a brand spankin' new beginner. Got an guitar late last week and have started on my journey. My fingertips are still hurting but I'm excited about this rite of passage. I've checked out quite forums on the web and this looks like a good spot.

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone.
