Aren't there other more important things a beginner should be learning before barre chords? I want to be able to play barre chords eventually but I want to take it SLOOOOOOOOOW.

I have been playing for 2 years now and I am just getting to grips with basic Barre chords. In my opinion learning to play open chords first is the way to go because you then know (kinda) what you're doing when you begin to barre. It may be an idea to learn to play the open chords with the middle ,ring, and pinkie fingers as these are required when playing the Barre chords.
