Okay....... You just purchased your first guitar correct? That means you've been playing for about a week or so... Yeah it'll probably be awkward for like the first few months, unless you practice for a few hours a day. Playing the guitar is not just some "hobby" like playing video games, it requires hard work and tons of skill to be able to play well. It seems like your perception of the time that learning an instrument takes is a little skewed. Find an instructor in your area that plays your style of music, and is also a good guitar player and good teacher (very hard to find). Then once you do that, practice whenever you have spare time. You should be learning simple songs in no time. I have been playing around 5 years now, and I'm just now considering myself "good". Playing guitar (or any instrument for that matter) takes an incredible amount of commitment and skill. After a few months of practice, you won't feel that awkwardness anymore.

By the way, stick with it, and rock on. Remember that it's all about having fun.
