I picked up the guitar again and was amazed to find that getting a much clearer sound was a lot easier, I'm not sure what caused the dramatic change but I am very excited and am currently looking off of song books with written chords in them, trying to get a feel for playing, strumming, and chord changes. Eventually I plan on checking out a book on guitar playing from the library but until then I feel like I am making progress.
