Keep with it brother. Its just building muscle memory in your hands and fingers. The main thing is pick it up each day. Even for 10 mins. Are u doing it on your own or are u getting lessons? |

Im only playing a few years myself. But i basically learned of youtube  there are some excellent channels on there. justinsanderciesongs and guitarjams are 2 of the best. All i can say is patience and pratice is key. And the biggest advise i can give u is learn your scales. and start slow. Learn 5 chords and stick with them. u can literally play 1000s of songs with the same 3 or 4 chords. stick to the open ones like A, C, D, G etc and u wont be long improving |

Tip from a seasoned player, get yourself an acoustic guitar . The light gauge of an ejectricak will take you ages to get proper muscles .
It also increases your skills abd orecufion for the tone . E guitar effects can hide a lot , acoustic doesn’t lie
For the rest as everyone said, patience and daily dedicated time |

"Finger independence , building the muscles in the fingers, being able to stretch properly on each fret,
Thanks for all the advice!, much appreciated!"
1. Wash your hands in warm to hot water before you play, this helps warm up the muscles in your hands.
2. Do some further finger excercises to stretch and warm up further.
3. Start at the first fret, place your first finger over the first fret, second over the second and so on. Then go across the frets one at a time, then the next string, E 1 2 3 4, A 1 2 3 4 etc
4. Reverse the excercise, High E 4 3 2 1, B 4 3 2 1 etc.
5 Shift Up to the next four frets and repeat.
Do that for about 20 mins and you should be nicely stretched and warmed up.
If at any point this excercise is painful then do t slowly or with two or three fingers at at time.
"No pain, no gain" is not something that hold true for guitar playing (except for calluses)
