At the risk of sounding wimpy......
ever see some kind of finger thimble that a person could use to keep
your fingers from touching two strings at once?
I'm thinking of something plastic that would go over your 4 frettin'
fingers.

i have - farmer's fingers - myself. you just have to get used to
fingering with the tips of your fingers - as you exercise the fingers,
they will thin out a little - really, not kidding you.

i would also second previous advice, learn to play including the pinky
and leanr to use bar chords immediately. you'd be surprised at how
much music you can make by just learning a few simple bar chords.

Pentatonic scales.....a must.
