Guitar

So I'm learning to play the guitar.... yes I am twenty-one years old and I have never really learned to play an instrument in my entire life. I played the flute for I think 3 weeks in 4th grade before I was basically told I suck. :) But I also did not put in the effort as all my efforts were put into sports and being a crazy athlete. :) I will say guitar is so much harder than I expected...I'm sure if I had started to learn when I was at a young age it would be much easier, but I didn't think it would be this hard! I love to sing, and I've always wanted to learn to play the guitar and sing, I just find sitting around a campfire singing and playing/listening to be the most relaxing thing in the world...if anyone plays guitar do you have any suggestions for me? ;) I bought a Fender guitar, It's very nice. :)
