I'm a novice

after long years of longing, finally i get to learn on how to play a guitar..
the teacher is... my brother, irfan. i think he just has things with music..i can say he's kind of gifted in music..

my lesson started from the very basic thing.. knowing the pitch for each string..well, we're playing the standard 6 strings acoustic guitar so the pitches are E,A,D,G,B,E, from the 6th -1st string respectively.. irfan didn't teach me much about the pitch[ i bet it's bcoz of my why-it-is-so complicated face..huhu]
so we moved on to the more practical lesson.. learning the CHORDS. i just knew that most of the songs are composed by merely simple chords-not that simple for me though...ehek..

first time strumming the chords..it was just impossible..i told irfan that my fingers aren't long enough to press on different strings on different frets of the guitar..his reply was: everybody feels the same way on their 1st try..ur fingers'll get used to it..n so i tried..

my achievement so far: the basic 4 chords.. C,A,G,D + Em.. (u can already play quite a number of songs with these chords- of course by singing along coz i don't think we can recognize the melody of the song just by strumming)
F is really hard to play..
i did 'numb' n 'keep holdin on' but they don't sound as good as irfan's.. obviously bcoz of my horrible strumming plus the wrong tempo... still don't get the hang of it somehow....
after all, i'm just a beginner...lot more to learn Syafiqah!!!-1 thing's bugging me: do i need to get my own guitar???hurm...
