71 is young still. There are many older than that in TAC. Guitar is not an easy instrument to learn,, and everyone has to start at the beginning, which is strife with learning curves. It does get easier with time. Hang in there. You’ve only been at it a month, which is very early in the game. It takes time to learn barre chords. Just practice a few minutes every day. You’ll eventually get it. Many, many people dislike them and struggle with them. Even professional musicians and many advanced players in my jam club outwardly growl and grumble when a song with them is played. Just don’t avoid trying. You’ll be a more versatile player if you learn them.
