Try finger and writs exercises and gently massaging hands before playing. It’s like sport, you gotta warm up.  Start with playing your scales getting those fingers ready.  Works for me and afterwards I just lay on the floor and dream....

Just  wondering, Since i've started learning the Tennessee Waltz a week ago i've had an

aching right elbow 😡 Anyone else experience the same symptoms?

John, I had strain in my fretting hand with the up the neck version. Too much stretching over an area of the fretboard I'n not well-practised in! 

Around the same time I got an email with this video from acoustic guitar mag

 

which seems to have helped. I try and use this format for 8-10 mins (admittedly not the whole thing) for warming up every time I play and it's really helped. I used to just kind of noodle around before. 

Not sure if it would help your elbow but worth a try at least.
