And Away We Go

I got the guitar.  It is a handsome looking item.  Unfortunately the tag says "Made in China."  Why did I buy a Fender instead of a Yamaha if the Fender is not made in USA?

Anyways, Got the thing tuned up and I am following the lessons on this site.

All is going well. . . . I think.  I can play the D, A, and E chords and nothing else.  

I think I am doing well.  I can play for about 20min before my fingers hurt too much, but that is to be expected, and they should start to callous soon.  I think tomorrow's lesson includes playing a song.  Oh the joy!
