Thanks @BarbaraM !
While I don’t have arthritis in my fingers and I’m most thankful for that, I agree with everything what you said about it simply taking time to understand your true limitations. I have found that so many challenges that seemed impossible at first and I almost gave up, were in fact doable at a later sometimes after a few days, months or a year later. Children can learn guitar much more quickly (I wish I would have learned then, I wanted to!) but after decades of using our hands to do many different things we never developed the very different and specific movements that are unique to guitar playing! You have develop muscles and new brain connections! This can only happen over a period of time.
