If you play it straight major it is relatively easy to learn. How do you deal with maj7 and dom7? Any tricks for that?

Maj7 - lesson pending.
Another good song for this exercise is “Lightning Crashes” by Live. I like how it is a relatively easy chord progression, but it gets your hands moving around in different shapes 
But it doesn’t have any minor chords in it and this is a A shaped Barre Chord “Minor” Lesson
The chords in Lightning Crashes are all Major

Yep, ha, for sure. I was thinking that the 3rd chord in the progression was an A shaped minor, but it’s definitely not. I just played it as a minor and it sounds…not good.
You’re right My memory isn’t as good as it used to be. I was running the song through my head and thought I think the Bridge uses minor Barre chords so I went and checked and it does.
So my bad you where right.
Great song haven’t played in for a long time.

What about playing the Am chord with fingers 2, 3 and 4? Then it would be easier to change from Am to Bm. Or are there disadvantages to it?
