Hmm...I'm mostly having trouble with the whole changing chords thing. Can't seem to do it in any sort of timely manner. Of course I'm also expecting to be great in like the space of an hour - a recipe for furstration...

I'm trying to take it slower now. And I'm looking for some drums to buy as my left hand becomes weaker and weaker the longer I don't play.
