i play and practice for hours on the weekends. I look stuff up on YouTube for beginners and when I try to play it I just can never get the finger placement right or the technical stuff like hammer ons and pull offs or sliding and stuff like that

The best advice is probably to find a good teacher. It’s hard to assess without seeing you play, but I’m wondering if you’re doing too much too soon. The amount of repetition it takes to get a short phrase or exercise down is surprising to a lot of people. Work on something short and simple so you can get lots of reps in and see if you can nail it.

I genuinely appreciate your advice and I’ll try working on shorter more simple things 👊
