Right now I am stuck on one finger per fret. I'm getting my fingers mixed up, muted cords, and cords buzzing.

I h'm less ave gotten a little better. Although it still sounds bad.

But it should be better with practice.

Keep going mate. I have a bit of experience, used to play along in church years ago but that was all open chords, very basic. It helps that I've learned open chords before but there is so much to learn I feel like I'm starting from scratch. I get so frustrated with it sometimes I could smash the damn thing but I love playing and music soooo much that it's worth it just getting a tiny bit better as the weeks go by.
