Okay so this is probably the silliest question ever BUT on the songs here with the chords above the words... How many times am I supposed to strum each chord? I was just doing each chord one strum lol. It doesnt sound much like a song like that...

I played pretty much all day yesterday and couldnt wait to get up today and start again... As soon as I touched the strings I nearly hit the roof my fingers hurt so much!! Is this normal? Should I rest them (I REALLY don't want to) or should I suck it up and power through until I earn my callouses?

Thanks!! I'm so glad I found this website, you all really know what you are talking about!!! I am playing an Ibanez (with steel strings). My mom bought it for me years ago when I expressed an intrest and when I realized how difficult it was I gave up. I'm much more ambitious... and uh... stubborn lol, and WILL NOT give up till I can proudly play my guitar and sing along!! Thanks again everyone, your comments are appreciated SOOOO much!!
