Yes, sitting posture can make a big difference!
The best is to sit up straight, in a straight-back chair.
Some people like to place one leg up on a small stool or riser.
How’s it going with your guitar playing?

chords as well as learning scales?

That is not uncommon. Everybody’s hands are unique, and have their own little quirks. Your fingers should get better at each doing their own job as you continue to practice.

Distracting to who? To the person practicing? Or, to other people in the room who are trying to watch TV?
The person practicing can practice certain types of skills even with the TV on, like chord changes without strumming.
It would be best if you could find a time and place to practice where the TV is not on, even if that means in the bathroom, on the steps, outside, wherever you can carve out a little space for yourself.
But the TV being on does not mean it is not possible – just a little more of a challenge.
Don’t let that discourage you. If what you really want is to learn to play, you will find a way to do so.

Actually, there are some things you can practice that don’t make noise, like practicing chord change without actually strumming the guitar. Just let your fingers of your left hand practice moving from one chord to another chord. Maybe you and your Mom could come up with a compromise of some sort? Like, you practice at a certain time every day, so she knows when it will begin and end? Or, you find a space to practice in your home that it quiet and private? Believe it or not, some people practice in bathrooms or big closets sometimes!

What do you think about the Luna guitars? I have had my eye on the Muse Safari. I just have not justified buying it as of yet. Thanks for your thoughts.
