Okay I'm trying to learn Horse With No Name. I am a BEGINNER. So far I can make the chords sound okay, but it is a complete train wreck when I try to sing and strum the chords at the same time. I know it will take some time, no a lot of time. I just want to hear from other players about how long they struggled with this before they could play and sing.

Thanks for any response in advance
Mitch
