I read someone suggest a classical guitar because it would be easier. Not a good idea. You can't give someone a classical and expect it to be the same as regular ole acoustic. Classical guitars are not meant to be strummed on for very long, maybe flamenco, but i'm no expert in that.

Just keep working on it. It will become the easiest thing you can do if you keep pushing yourself. No excuses just keep practicing and by this time next yea, you'll be doing some pretty amazing stuff.
