Tonight I tried sitting with a footrest under my left foot, and the guitar resting horizontally on my left leg (I'm a righty). Boy howdy, did that make things profoundly easier! I even got that pesky Am chord to speak mostly clearly, (separately) using both the Yamaha FG Junior and my G2627T!!! Still no where near competent but I am now sold on the classical position; it even made it easier to find the right strings without looking at the fretboard. Wish I'd been using it all along. Thanks, @Synchro !!
The next thing, we’ll all be playing classical.

For me ,its the Harmonic Minor Scale !
It takes a little bit of time to become accustomed to the Bass clef, but it’s definitely doable.
Yep, there is proper technique. Classical players don't do it because they play classical music, but because they probably play more physically challenging music - I am guessing at least in part because some of the music was not written for or on a guitar so you are adapting to guitar what might be played on a piano or a string quartet.

I threw the electrics into the mix today. I find I’m making better dexterity progress by mixing up tue scale lengths, radiuses, and widths of boards. Still can’t hit that crazy gymnastic shape well or even at all sometimes.

Try moving that impossible chord down two frets, to G minor.

I have decided one thing. I’m standing one one page too long. There are a couple chords I can get and one I can’t get and it seems after months and month and months probably never will. For me it seems the hardest part is knowing when to move on.
I would recommend just going through all 12 keys. Ultimately, there are only three Major and three minor chords, but in different positions, for each key. You want to get things clean, but every key will help you in that.

I’m taking my Little Martin with me it is the mostly durable and easily replaced if damaged or destroyed
That’s a nice guitar. All I would advise are small steps. You won’t get it all at once; no one does, but you can chip away at it and make small improvements. It’s a balance between headway and perfecting the material.
