    But remember, the beginning is very hard.
    Just continue practicing, every single day, on and on and on! :)
    And it becomes easier and easier!
    You will notice!

    Get ready for numb finger tips! I picked up my guitar for the first time in ages yesterday and my fingers are still a bit tender. It doesn't take long to break them in. I would suggest buying an electronic tuner.

    Yeah, it comes with a tuner, but a couple of the reviews say that it is trash, so I'll probably have to pick another one up.

    I can't wait for my guitar to arrive - I was checking out a couple of the beginner videos yesterday - very excited!

    when i first started i played a lot of drop d songs just to get a feel for strumming and not being so frustrated. i used tool's lateralus and undertow to get started.

    for me the best thing to do was practice songs i liked that used basic open chords. for PJ try black, small town and betterman. good songs for learning chords D, C, A, G, E, Em and C/G.

    and justinguitar.com is awesome of course
