I feel the same way. Slow progress is progress even if it is negligible. I am enjoying the process and the positive feedback. I’m also in my 60’s (67) and this is my first exposure to the guitar. I thought I was too old to start now but I did and I’m glad I did. Still a newbie with all this as this is my third month. Easy to say hang in there. I feel your pain. I continue try to get over trying to be perfect and am starting to accept small wins as progress. Good luck in your journey. Let me know how it goes.

I also have an issue with the C chord. My ring finger refuses to arch which starts the muting as the other fingers then start to act up. I also have a problem with my index finger since it has a pin at the first knuckle so I can’t arch that part. I like to think I’m getting there on the chord since today went better than yesterday. Hopefully tomorrow will be even better. So I guess it’s just sticking with it and eventually it will sound better. I will try the other finger positioning and see if that works. Thank you
