As far as nylon stringed guitars go, I always found the transition to the wide flat fretboard awkward. In the beginning, my fingertips would roll off the (low tension) wound strings adding yet another challenge. Eventually I switched to high tension strings. I’m probably not alone with this issue as Godin has come out with a slim neck nylon string guitar.
Keep practicing Julian. I wish they had Internet (sites like this) when I was a beginner in the sixties.
