The first time I wanted to quit guitar was the week my teacher assigned me barre chords. I remember crying to my parents (who had no idea what I was upset about). Almost 40 years later I still don’t like playing them unless I’m going for a funky sound with lots of hammering and percussive strumming. I guess the challenge I still have is that I cannot get as clean a sound with a barre as I do with open chords. Guess I need to keep practicing . . .
