Hey guys, I'm pretty much as big of a beginner as you're going to find. No music experience what so ever, no clue what I am doing, and I'm probably not even the brightest guy around. (Especially when it comes to reading music)

Either way, I've purchased my first guitar. I'm very excited and I start a few lessons with a local teacher after Thanksgiving, but one thing kind of bothers me: My hands. I wouldn't say I'm uncoordinated or anything, but did your left hand feel really awkward when you first started? I can't see how my left hand is going to manage the fret board and just hop and skip all over to hit the right chords.

My hand just feels awkward and I amazed at the skill it looks like it's going to take to be able to even play an A note. I'm not discouraged, but I'm curious as to if any of you felt like it was really hard to get your chords down and hands positioned right.

I can't wait until I know what I'm doing so I can practice better and actually play something that isn't racket ;

Thanks for any help guys.
