Stokey,

I'm probably the last person who should be offering advice about playing the guitar, but like you I'm stuck at home. Here's my advice, for what it's worth. The main thing is this: the only way to learn the song is to practice. I to have very little musical talent but I keep working to get better. One song I want to learn is Runaway Train by Soul Asylum but it has an F major chord and I simply cannot get it right yet, but I still work on it everyday I practice. My point is don't worry about your lack of "talent;" practice until you get it right. My last piece of advice is have fun. Playing the guitar is supposed to be fun (I have to remind myself of this frequently) so don't get too frustrated when what you flub something. Smile and keep trying.
