It’s going to be a journey for milestones such as this mini barre and many other barre chords. Most of us just aren’t going to be able to do this during an evening of trials. It’s going to in the order of many months, perhaps double digit months. But you can still play Old Man, just leave out the barre and fret the B string. Try not to strum the high E or mute the E if you can manage it. (If you strum the high E then you’re playing an F major7 which works at times but not always)

For the first 3 months in the TAC program, I used one of those 2 options. You may be able to rock your index finger so that the E string is muted, playing just 3 strings.
