You might be disheartened with the fact that you don’t sound anything near nice during the first time. But that is to be expected. You have to work on improving this sound. You also may feel some discomfort of pain in the hands, arms and fingers during your first few days of learning. Don’t let this dissuade you as well. Practice your fingers more so soon enough, you won’t feel the pain of the pressure when you press on the strings of your guitar.

If you are learning on your own, grab some journals from the local bookstore. Check out online tutorials and articles that may be able to help you understand the technique a lot better.

Remember that you need to rest whenever you feel tired or stressed. Getting enough rest will help you get the energy you need to learn how to play the guitar.
