I've been playing guitar for over 20 years and use a guitar teacher for a little over 5 years...I can tell you that this is totally normal.
Practice the pentatonic scale for 10 minutes a day...with a metronome.
Also practice the 1234 Exercise...it was something I had my students do as a warmup every day for 3-5 minutes. I still do it myself even after 20 years.
Here is a link that explains it pretty well:

Do these exercises every day before or after you practice other things...sort of like a warm-up and cool-down. You will notice a massive improvement in no time.
