Hi from Romania

Hi everyone!I just bought my first guitar 3 days ago (as a gift for my birthday)... been waiting for this moment for years now but I finally have it! So... since I don't have the money (or the time) to attend to lessons I started surfing the net... and guess what? I came across this site and I started reading through the articles. I found them to be very interesting and well explained and from there... here I am!First let me tell you a bit about me... I'm a metal fan since I was 10 (or 11 maybe? anyways not such a big difference... I'm 20 now). My favorite bands are: Children of Bodom, Metallica, In Flames, Dragonforce, Eluveitie and... well that should be enough (those are pretty much the ones I like most over all the others which are great also). By telling you this you probably figured out that I got myself an electric guitar. This is a Squier Bullet Stratocaster HSS with Tremolo and I also got an amp so that I can use it and that is a Fender Frontman 15G. I know it's not much but it should be more then enough to get me started (I think?). I've seen a lot of people on the net that were criticising the Bullet Strat saying that it sounded like crap so I did a bit of research and came up with some vids where it sounded awesome (or at least for my ear)... also the guy at the music shop tuned it for me and tested it with the same amp that I bought and it sounded very nice there also. So I'd like your opinion on this cause you're the experienced and I'm the newbie ( :) ) .As I was saying, I got it 3 days ago and I think I already put over 25h in it but not much came out. I already have put 3 hours in it today and it's just 11:44 AM and I started to read an article on here and things are beginning to tie up a bit (the biggest issue I'm facing right now is switching chords... sounds familiar? :) ) but with practice I'm starting to get it right slowly. At this instant I'm having a break cause my fingers kind of hurt so I have the time to write this. I also know why I came out with pretty much nothing in the first 20h I spent with the guitar and that is because (like everyone who get's their first guitar) I wanted to learn something easy and cool so I kind of did and that's a (very) short part of the intro's for Nothing Else Matters, One and Fade To Black.So I hope that will be enough to introduce myself on here.Oh one more thing, right now I'm looking for some easy 2 chords songs so I can practice on switching chords... so any suggestions on this matter?Thanks and I'm glad to be here... I'm sure I'll learn a lot from this site! :note1: :note2: :note2: :note1: :note1: :note2:
