Hi Ann, welcome! I second Lisa's suggestion. Her beginner lessons are excellent and break it down so that it is managable.

I am viewing my guitar journey as being a journey, not a race.

also, Time if a four letter word with two meanings:

T-Things

I- I

M-Must

E-Earn

and

T-This

I- I

M-May

E-Enjoy

The first (Things I Must Earn) relates to simply practicing and the second (This I May Enjoy) relates to the results of practicing. Even just getting my first chord down without looking brought me joy.

Stick with Lisa's lessons, you can't go wrong and will, over time, be able to form a chord without looking down.
