I remember when I first learned morst chords I played sounded like shit. I would say focus on easy chords, E, A, D and their minors are all relatively easy chords to play without too much hand cramp action. As you play make sure your not fat fingerering / muting other strings and you will get better with time, slowly add harder chords.

Then one day you will find a song you want to play that is bar chords and it all starts over again.

Yeah it's funny how hard every chord is when your first start. I remember thinking it was impossible to play a C but then I got it and I felt like I climbed a mountain. Now all the basic chords are second nature and it's easy for me to forget just how much I struggled in the beginning.

Barre chords are actually easier. Just have to learn three chord formations and then just slide it around.
