One disclaimer Lisa McCormick makes in GF1 is that Acoustic strings are far harder to fret than an Electric, so maybe build fingertip strength on an Electric then return to Acoustic. I recall in another of your previous threads that you wanted to skip the earlier fundamental chapters (chords). This is one of the pitfalls of skipping the basics, among others. By the end of the Fundamentals, you would have developed the necessary calluses for other techniques.

Do you practice spider fingers exercise, for at least 5-10mins before learning?
