Given the limited time in my schedule as it is right now, I have no desire to attempt barre chords. Given that nobody will ever hear me play, it doesn't matter if we all sound the same after a while. I guess in the long run I haven't been having fun for a while now, and have no idea what to do to get back to that. With my subscription here, I've started from the beginning (again). I've gotten to chapter 3 of the beginner course, and haven't really gotten anything new out of this. All it's showed me is how terrible I am at this and how the last 5 years have been a huge waste. I just want to feel like I'm having fun and not like it's a chore to practice.
