Strumming again

Hey, I picked up the guitar and restarted my umpty-umph attempt at learning it yet again. I went about it for just over 30 minutes until my fingertips got achy. So far I know the open C-A-G-E-D chords and with quite bad form--slow finger placement, muted strings, y'know what i mean.

I blame two youtube.com videos here and here (1st song only) for today's inspiration. Thanks, Ortopilot. Also, I stumbled across a video of one of my highschool jazz bandmates, Bruce Gatewood, who was an amazing player then but has turned out to wickedly burn fire on the strings now. A totally cool guy. Go, Bruce!

Glad to see this post, mostly because I've been in a guitar playing valley lately. Thanks for the inspiration!
