As every beginner, I have to learn the basics. So far, the book covers the chords D and A – both with three fingers down and a simple version of G where only the small finger presses the high e in the third section – I’ve already seen G is actually a bit more difficult, and at this point I’m glad about this simplification .

The fingertips of my left hand now feels dazed all the day – but that will fade over the time. Next chord to learn is E; it’ll bring me new songs… Let’s go.
