After browsing youtube.com looking for the right internet guru to guide me along my journey to rock stardom, I've decided to go with
Justin Sandercoe. Today, I learned the D, A, and E chords. I am in the process of practicing 1-minute chord changes before even attempting to play any 3-chord songs. So far I'm still having trouble with switching between the D and A chords. The goal is to make 1 chord change per second, or in other words, 30 changes in 1 minute. So far the best I can do is about 15. I made a little cheat sheet on Paint to help me remember where to place my fingers on the strings. By the way, guitar playing is PAINFUL!
Exhibit A:

Finger dents from the strings |
The tips of my fingers were numb for the next few days. Ah well, no pain, no gain.
Oh right, here is my cheat sheet, which I compiled from the images on Justin's website.
U'll get used to the dents :) Reading music takes a while to pick up but before u know it u'll be able to look at the score sheets and ur fingers will just musically take over on their own.
