Guitar

I have always dreamed of being able to sit down, grab the acoustic guitar, and play along to Taylor Swift with all my friends and be like "Oh ya it's so easy! I can play any song you can think of!". (Haven't we all?)

About 3 weeks ago I walked into Luke's room and was just messing around with his electric guitar. Then I decided I should give guitar a chance. Plus it didn't seem that hard either. So I turned on the amp, and taught myself the first chord. So lets say it was D. I would count which string it was that my finger had to be on, then write it down. I thought that was it to guitar and it was sooo easy. Luke was really confused. He kept saying " Wait Dar, let me explain the right way to do it!" But I thought I had the whole concept down perfectly. My Mom said I could start guitar lessons with the same guy Luke takes them from. So I decided to give it a try! The next Thursday I realized what guitar is really all about. You have to memorize these chords and your fingers are numbered, keeping a good tempo, the list go's on and on. My guitar teacher is going pretty fast with me so he already gave me the chords to "Our Song" and he said I can try it out if I want. But playing a musical instrument is a LOT harder than I imagined. It can be a little frustrating, but since I don't have a musical talent with my singing voice, I would like to have a different kind of musical talent. Can any of you play an instrument??
