re: Bought my first guitar

You must learn the main chords first. I learned on a Mel Bay chord book. Today you have that plus You Tube. After about a month practicing an hour day, start learning the Keys and changing the chords in each key. Learn in the first 3 frets first and after about 3 months learn going up the neck. Practice and memorize. You have to practice changing the chords within each key a lot after about 6 months. Your fingers will get sore and eventually get hard on the tips. It will get easier every 2 months or so.
