And to think I was almost willing to just give up and sell my guitar 9 months ago, yet now I'm working on my first songs... I almost feel like a real Rock-musician now!

A lot of it is attitude! Take a technically simple riff and you can make awesome by just playing it with some attitude.

It would have been a real shame if you had given up 9 months ago - glad you stuck with it!

Enjoy laying down your demo. Recording is a lot of fun.
