Guitar Playing - Status Updates

Played my first clear E and A Major chords last night. Pretty happy!

Couple of tips I have noticed since playing for a week.

1. Trimming your nails really short on the fret hand helps a lot
2. I think building the hand strength/flexibility in the fret hand is really key to guitar playing
3. Need to tune the guitar every day.

So for those trying to learn, I had my first clear chords after playing every night (30 mins) for around 5 days. So don't be discouraged if you are muting the strings a lot initially. I think it takes a while to build that fret hand strength and flexibility., especially if you don't have a lot of natural strength in your left hand.
