I can relate. Decades ago learning guitar my little finger would not move into position on the high E string when playing an open G. I actually had to stop strumming and move my little finger into position with my right hand. If I had been smart I would have ditched the guitar and that point and become a singer instead
Let’s not even talk about learning barre chords back then......
The good news, it just takes time. More time for some of us, but that’s ok, we do it because we love it.
