My boyfriend has a few guitars that I have fiddled around with (mostly just strumming) but I found them way too big. This one is a 3/4 and is much more comfortable. I also have a small ukelele which I never got too good at tbh lol,

I guess I could say this is the first time I have tried to do a really regimented practice on an instrument! I mostly used youtube tutorials, if you want to learn fingerstyle is probably best to just practice the picking hand all alone until you get the hang of some patterns then add chords in once you get the groove going.

This video for example shows some fun patterns to practice:

Don't get me started on the F barre LOL, I can do it but I have a hard time making all the strings ring out clearly, it feels so awkward but I guess it will come with time. You already have a great musical ability so I'm sure you can pick it up in no time. I often leave the guitar near my desk so every once in a while I will pick it up for five minutes here and there and it's kept me fairly consistent :)
