In fairness, I found it's just getting reps more than anything.I'd struggle to learn now as I go through phases where I play flat out every day and then don't look at a guitar for weeks.
Yes, but all open chords and keys can be played without barre chords. Capo primarily used (more so for beginners) to play a song in a key which they find easier to play (either to play along with a particular song or find a key that suits their voice of they want to play and sing and setup dates at parties etc) eg you've a fav song in E, but the key of E involves a B, C#m etc.. If a beginner is more confident playing in the key of C, capo 4th fret, playing the c shape but in a different key. You prob already know this, typed so maybe someone might get some use out of it
