Thanks for all the advice. I am playing light gauge strings and my guitar was recnetly set up and the actions is not too high. Certainly playing electric would be easier on my figners. Definitely strumming softer helps.

I have recently been working on fingerpicking and doing a of work with my right hand getting the patterns down. I noticed that I tend to park on one chord while concentrating on my right hand. I am finally getting to the point where I am getting more comfortable with chord changes while maintaining the pattern which is easier on my fingers.
