Questions from a absolute beginner
I'm the absolute beginner (it has been two weeks). I am learning chords and strumming right now. But somehow when I strumming chord, the strings kind of muted. I am really fustrated. How am I suppose to put my figers on the string? is anybody can show me some pictures?

Try this. Hold a C maj chord, now pick one string at a time and see which strings sound muted. Keep holding that C chord and make small adjustments in your finger position until the muted strings ring out. Whalla, that's how you should hold the chord. It takes practice, so don't get frustrated and give up. ;)
I am a constant evolving music machine. Oh Man, I just forgot what I was playing. Oh well, on to the next song. :rolleyes:

yea, my brother is trying to learn guitar now and he can't play any chords without *plunk*. its horrible and it used to happen to me. Make sure you have your fingers only on the frets you need to play and not touching other strings.
Im not ok. Im not okhayhay. Im not ok.

I agree with what both these guys have said. To add to that, a big problem could be finger strength. Maybe you aren't holding down the strings hard enough. If you keep practicing this should remedy itself pretty quick.
You go outside and practice screaming. We'll play music while you're gone.

A good way to build up finger strength is to constantly clench your hand into a fist and then release. If you're ever just sitting in school, or driving, or cutting the grass, or anything that doesn't require much hand movement, just tighten and release your hand for a while. It really helps a lot.

That's really weird, because the other day me and my schoolyard chums were discussing how best to kill each other, and everybody said they would push me off a cliff. Wild, huh?

No, pushing you off a cliff was only my second choice. I said I'd push you down a huge flight of stairs.
