I took a 5 day trip to New Hampshire and decided to take my guitar, even though I wouldn't be bringing my amp. I have now picked up my guitar everyday for at least 30 minutes, and I am pleased with my progress so far.

I am successfully playing the first 5 simple chords. And moving from one to another well. Not great but well.

And and I am as excited to continue learning as I am just playing what I know. Plus my fingers hurt less!
