Guitar (Epic Fail)

After applying online for jobs for a few hours, I began day 3 of my artistic endeavors... Guitar...

OK, I must say this has been my most difficult undertaking so far. You would think this would come naturally to me, given that the majority of my family can, at the very least, play a few chords...  Not I!  My brain says one thing, and my fingers say, "Nope. I don't think so."  Even when I finally get my fingers in the correct position, when I strum it falls, well, short of what it should sound like.

I looked up easy guitar tab to learn, and "House of the Rising Sun" came up as one of the top three.  I began with an E minor.  OK, done!  However, my progression was so slow that the song was unrecognizable, even to me.

I then decided to learn chords first. G, E, F... Done... However, again, my progression between chords was incredibly slow.  I'll continue until I finally nail a song and promise to post a video... Although, I'm not sure on the time frame as of yet, for obvious reasons!

STAY TUNED!!! ;)
