Hi all! It’s true… there’s a reason they call it the F-chord!
If you can play a C chord then you should… eventually… be able to play an F. You move the 2nd and 3rd finger over one string each and then flatten that 1st. Yes… easier said than done but very possible with time. Notice I didn’t say practice. The P word isn’t my favorite and so I play songs. When I’m wanting to learn a new chord I find a song with that chord (sometimes the songs find me to teach me a chord though). Then I just keep playing that song over and over until the new chord is just part of it and I don’t have to stop and look and put my fingers down slowly in the right spots. Once I can cleanly transition to the new chord it’s a true accomplishment and can be factored into other songs. This is just my method of keeping it fun and may not work for everyone. Just throwing out out there as the F chord is pretty common and a great one to know and get down.
Good luck and most of all have fun!
