    Hey Glenn keep on plugging away at that F as you will need it for many songs down the line. But as others have said dont panic if it isnt coming together for you right away, its the hardest of the cowboy chords because of that mini barre, and it takes a good while before its comfortble. My advice for now is to maybe put off learning too many songs with an F (unless theres one that really important for you) and focus on songs that have chords youre more comfortable with right now. There are hundreds of songs that can be played using that magic 1 4 5 chord progression in the key of G ie starting on a G chord and then any combination of D C Em and maybe Am . The G D Em C progression alone covers a ton of good tunes and these are all pretty doable chords that most people get down fairly quickly…certainly easier than the F anyway. Do a You tube search for easy songs in G and you’ll find lots. TAC is great and will result in steady progress esp related to skills and techniques in my opinion. Tony started doing song covers a few years ago which was awesome bc for me learning songs is really what its all about. Its a great accomplishment when you ve learned a song from beginning to end, including singing it (even if its just for the dog). Its also motivating and makes you want to learn another one…and then another.. But just as important to keep it simple at first and within your skill set so you dont get discouraged. Hope this help bro. Keep on rocking
