Well regarding the arm pain, yes and no. You shouldn’t get pain while playing. Fatigue yes. Pain suggests something else possibly. The first thing I would look at is your guitar. Does it fit you well? Many factors can come into play. Neck shape, thickness, scale, body size and shape. When I first started I thought most guitars were the same. Started out with a large dreadnought with a chunky neck. It was hard to play, and did cause pain in my lower forearm. Fast forward to today, and I’ve found what neck shapes and sizes work for me. Apologies if you’ve already been down this road.
