    I first stared playing guitar when I was thirteen. An old friend of mine decided to give me his old acoustic guitar, and show me some of the basics. First, he showed me two of the easiest chords, G and E. At first, it was hard for me to transition from G to E, but after some practice, I was starting to get the hang of it.
