For instance, it is easier to go from a Bm barre (of course) to a G barre and back again; than to an open chord G and back.

I'm sure this is just practice practice practice ... but I still feel pretty good when I can nail a few barrechords in a row this way!

Cool. I'm glad it working out for you. You were saying it's easier to go from a Bm barre to a G barre and back. It certainly is. But I like to keep my hand loose and switch back and forth between open and barres whenever I can. It's hell getting old! But keeping the hand loose is a good thing for the future.

Becoming a great guitarist has less to do with fancy moves than it does becoming a master of the basics and learning musicianship.
It's not what you can't do. It's how you play what you already know.
