yeah really...
I remember the first time I tried to learn stuff like a D chord and a C chord.
I couldn't understand the fact that you didn't strum all 6 strings all the time.

I was kinda like.... 'you mean on a C chord, I don't play the 6th string?? How the hell do you do that??'
And for that matter... how do you stretch your fingers so far apart?

Years later it's like.... um... just put your fingers there and play it.
What's the problem??
