Lots of good advice here, hopefully this is a little more.
Be patient with yourself. Its hard to be born full grown, so let it come to you a bit.
As mentioned earlier, chop chords are easier in higher positions, so start around B, and play the I-IV-V, but start with just I-IV. Then IV, V. Then I-IV-V. I think biting off I-IV-V-ii-V is a lot when you're just starting and struggling with fingerings.
For soloing, start by just playing the melody, or as close as you can figure it out on the fly. Nobody gets pushed out of a jam for playing too much melody. You can then learn to embellish them.
Its a long process, and everybody is somewhere on that journey. Try your best, smile and dare to suck. No notes or ears will be harmed.
And have fun
