You’re definitely not too dumb for this @Gord001 . It’s a process and nothing comes naturally to me either. It takes effort and lots of practice. I still have to think about the strings, fingers and frets after 8+ months, but I can say it has gotten better over time. I believe it’s a process. The frets have finally sunk in, because I rely on the markers on the side of the neck of the guitar for frets 3, 5, 7, 9, 12. The strings are getting easier – I only have to really think about then G and B now. Fingers and numbering still confuse me, because ai always want to count the thumb. Bottom line, just hang in there and keep trying.
