Dunno dude… Everyone’s different, but I clearly remember thinking that I’d never be able to play this chord shape cleanly, or this barre chord down at the lower frets.
Some of these things take time - months, years maybe - to get the knack.
Get down to a shop and try out some other guitars, but nothing beats practice

I bought a Squier Bullet Mustang cause they're cheap. It has a 24" scale and
12" fingerboard radius. I've never played a guitar before but it just feels SO small. The distance between frets, even at the headstock end, just feels tiny.
I can't tell if it's just because I am new to guitar but I can't physically get my fingers into the right position for some really simple chords because everything feels so cramped. It feels like I'm riding a bike that's a size too small for me. Has anyone else had this issue on a short scale guitar and gotten used to it? Or should I just return it and buy something with a standard 25.5" scale? I am still well within the return period so it's not a problem to take it back.
