Hello! I can only add one more suggestion to the excellent tips from Loraine and Carol. I play a classical Cordoba and steel string Martin (I learned on a classical first). The first three strings on a classical are nylon. All the classical strings have less tension than a steel string folk/blues guitar. The classical does not have the vibrant sound of the steel strings, but fretting/playing notes is much easier, less pressure……and I use a pick (very new to me) with both.

Also, depending on your hand size and reach, the classical guitar comes in a student size ( 3/4 of the standard size ) as well.

Keep at it! 🙂
