@jeffswan51gmail-com that’s perfectly normal in the beginning. Your control will improve over time as your fingers eventually catch up to your brain. These movements are very new and you actually have to develop a repertoire of these specialized muscle movements, that are unlike anything you have done for all the years before picking up a guitar.
What you are doing is good, keep your sessions short (10-20 minutes) and repeat as often as it’s still fun. I was a lot like you, semi retired and then almost completely retired so with a lot of time. Now, after nearly 17 months in the TAC program, I am able to do much more than i could in the beginning but there is still a long journey ahead.
Don’t let your struggles discourage you! In those moments is where most of the magic (learning) occurs. When it’s easy, you aren’t really learning much. At some point, possibly sooner than you think, you suddenly will be blown away by what you are able to do! Keep on rockin’, Jeff! Happy Thanksgiving!
