New guitar

I've finally got around to getting myself a guitar. I've long wanted to learn to play a guitar, but was always held back by something; work, money, time. I figure now that I have some free time on my hands, I could pick up the guitar as a hobby.

The guitar I bought is a brand new Epiphone. The sweet baby's perfect for me. It sounds great! (after I spend 15 minutes tuning it) I also learned that I have fat fingers, since almost every chord I play my fingers are touching a string it's not suppose to. My goal is to become fluent at it by the end of the year, such that I can play songs smoothly from the top of my head. I'm visioning myself with a pickup guitar at CalTrain stations playing some Coldplay, collecting Washingtons in my bucket.
