text: Aidan: I've started learning the guitar. Does anyone know any easy songs for beginners?
  Kevin: How many chords do you already know?
  Aidan: Only those which don't require more than three fingers :P
  Kevin: Haha!
  Wes: I remember my beginnings. My fingers hurt like hell!
  Kevin: I know a great cure for that.
  Wes: What?
  Kevin: Alcohol :D
  Aidan: But should I soak my fingers in it or drink it? :D
  Wes: Probably both :D
  Kevin: No, but seriously, I've heard someone that soaking your fingertips in alcohol helps, I just can't remember if you're supposed to do it before or after practicing.
  Aidan: I still like the idea of just drinking it :D
  Wes: OK, now back to the topic. Check out this guy's channel: <file_other>. He's got a lot of great tutorials for beginners.
  Kevin: Do you know anyone who has similar tutorials but for the mandolin?
  Aidan: Do you even have a mandolin?
  Kevin: No, but I've always wanted to :P
  Wes: It's a pity they're so expensive.
  Kevin: Yeah.
