Hello @HeyJude , very nice work with that full barred F chord. The barred F chord is simply an E chord shape with the index barring the 1st fret. If you move that E shape up the neck so that the index is barring the 3rd fret (G chord) or the 5th fret (A chord), you’ll find less tension from the strings on the index finger = an easier place on the neck to practice making the barred E shape and more success with playing and getting sound from barre chords. IMHO, I would suggest trying that for all barred chord shapes that you are learning, that’s how I did it years ago😎
