I remember that my left hand fingers were extremely painful when I first pressed the "A" chord. However, it had never discouraged me from learning because I knew someday I'd be able to play better.

Well, guitar is the most played instrument in the world! And in fact, guitarists are considered part of the most sexy people on the planet. I guess there's no reason why you shouldn't learn to play this gorgeous instrument.
