So anyway, I got dark souls today and I've gotten as far as the undead burg. I've been playing as a knight and I've gotten as far as the taurus demon but can't get past it. My character seems way too slow and can't get out of the way fast enough. I'm considering restarting as a different class like wanderer or thief because from the videos I've watched they're considerably faster. I'm wondering, should I do this or just keep grinding to level up my present character? Have any of you had similar experiences or are there any classes you can recommend?
Dark Souls advice?

Roll through his legs, or jump off the tower...other than that pray to what every deity you serve and wish for the best. I played as a bandit and rolling through his legs worked for me . If you want an Op char, go with pyromancer . They literally blow shit up .
Take off your armor for the fight. You will be able to run really fast. Being over-burdened isn't worth the extra defense in Dark Souls.
The attack from above does *huge* damage to him, so take off your armour (if you get hit by him you're in serious trouble anyway - might as well be light on your feet) and run away from him after delivering an attack after jumping off the tower.
Lead him away from that ladder, then when you think he's far enough, let him swing and dodge the attack (practice!) then run past him and climb the ladder again.
Don't bother trying to hack at him unless he's almost dead - just keep using the drop attack.

I got him to fall down where the ledge is broken at about 50% helth, but I remember that he was tough. Just stay close to him and hit him in the back a lot and try to get him to charge to his death.
Did you pick the Master Key as starting gift? This is pretty much the only thing that matters in character creation, and if you did not pick it, start again and pick the master key.
As for Taurus demon - there are many ways to beat him. Make sure you get in 1 diving attack, and make sure you have a shield that blocks 100% physical damage (you can block all of his attacks with some points in stamina).
