It's not so difficult!
Playing guitar is not so difficult as it sounds.. sometimes I get amazed when I hear a song that I think it's difficult to play and then, when I see it's basic chords, I realize that it only sounds complicated..What makes the difference, as I said before, generally is the strumming.
