Yes I try to do that. Make an attempt then move on. And yes I always play a few songs I *can* play fairly well that I enjoy, at the end of a practice session. But barre chords…
I did persevere on hammer-ons and pull-offs, bends, and tremolo/vibrato (which is it, are they the same?), and got them fairly well. And I can do the C chord and the mini-F (most of the time) when I never thought I could. So it’s not out of the question that I will eventually get dead strums and palm muting, if I keep trying it. But I cannot do certain things that are waaaayyy beyond any stretching ability I may have or hope to have. But if a 5-fret power chord is integral to a song, like the recent Rock n Roll Hoochie Coo, then I can’t play the song (not that I want to, I don’t really like it). I can just avoid palm muting if I want, but not changing actual notes.
