If you like, I can spend a couple hours showing you the ropes of the game, answering questions and getting you started adventuring.

I wouldn't give up on bard right away, just because it's a little harder, but I would definitely recommend trying a few classes that interest you, at least for the first 5-10 levels to see what you want to commit to.

The first 10 levels won't show you what each class is like for the rest of the game, but it's enough to give you an idea of what they do. Anyway, it seems like the class you stick to the longest turns into the class you like best.
