And I also found it is easier on different guitars. Acousitcs are harder for me. Especially if the action is really high and the strings are thick or older. Playing my electric is much easier all around but the acoustic is a good workout.
Maybe have you guitar checked out amd see if they can lower the action...stick some thinner strings on?
A long time ago I played a friends 3/4 acoustic ( it was a martin which is really nice ) and I noticed I could barre really easily on her guitar...
so maybe just go to your guitar shop and try different guitars and see if a different set up helps? Just for your own knowledge...not necessarily to buy a new guitar...try a 3/4 and see if it helps
just my 2 cents
gotta bolt to work
good luck
