you don't have to hold the bar in your hand - you can get away with just a few fingers from each hand on the bar as it rides on your delts.
This made the biggest difference for me when I was learning it - you don't "hold" the bar, it rests on your delts... I also struggled with feeling it against my throat, but now I'm totally used to it and it doesn't bother me at all. I sometimes have only 2 fingertips on each hand "holding" the bar when doing front squats...
