I used to spend a lot of time, here, and came back today to see this awesome Question and Thread in response. So many great ideas, all worth pursuing, BUT: PICK ONE. For now at least.
Example: The G, C, D (1, 4, 5 in the key of G) chords bring lots of issues. A 6 string, 5 string and 4 string Chord. So, until you are comfortable, pick one, and play only the top three strings. It is a valid chord, and for the G it is a G on the E string, for C it is a C on the B string, and for D it is a full pattern. You will be amazed at the buzz free sound of that compilation. Next, move between them.
When it is fun and comfortable, add the D string (4th from the bottom). Then the A, etc. At ten minutes per session, you will find your chord sound and transitions (movement) will grow exponentially, and will be cleaner each time you play.
You clearly understand, so go get it, and Welcome to TAC.

Well said, neighbor. Happy TACiversary. Where this is joy, there is continuity. (Rinse, Repeat). You got this.

Happy TACiversary.
One note leads to another
The second of brings two more
10 second in your a song is rising
Now, just to let out and sing.
Keep at it. You got this.

Terry, I hope you realize that you, single-handed, have given everyone who read this a roadmap to sanity and joy (with or without a guitar). Thank you, yet again, my virtual friend.
Wow.
-
If nothing else had happened, your joy evidenced by your “savior” making you “Happy” would be enough to cause me joy as well. And yet you allude to so much more. Happy Tacivesary. You have earned it, and will, no doubt, continue to do so into the future.

I like it, especially the three record thing. (I note that there is sufficient ambiguity in the defining terms to make your eventual success overwhelming.).
Keep at it. I look forward to hearing IE and appreciating the music.

Thanks @Cadgirl, inspiration comes in so many different guises.
One thing a lot of people with new(ish) guitar goals have is a dart board. Want to gain greatly, and have fun at it too? Put those 6 Goals on slips and put each on a section of the Board. Then, once a week, have a beer, wine, wiskey, or lemonaid, and throw a dart. Whatever section you hit, spend the week, in addition to your 10 minutes a day, 5 minutes a day on that one goal. New week, new drink, new dart. And if you hit the bullseye, it’s your choice, including passing a week, or redoing the last one.
Anyway, I really like your approach, and mental attitude, and you got this. I just know you do.

Thank you all. My friends enjoying the posts is such a supporting guide for progress, and it always helps when the song selection is appreciated.

thx

Well, it’s a good question, and to be honest, I listened to Alan Jackson playing it to try to get the rhythm.
Try D U D D U D, pretty much through, and when you feel a difference in what Jackson does, to me it is filling in the 1/8 notes, so DUDUDUDU. But this is a weakness in my play, so you asking has strengthened my thinking to figure out what exactly I am doing.
Enjoy

Glad to be of assistance. And thank you, for responding @tom000-18 (sounds like a lovely instrument, you should play it for us.)

That means a lot to me, Mike, a whole lot more than you can ever know.
