but i`ve just come up against the "F" chord
and cant seem to get my fingers to press
on the all the strings, is this me or is it a
hard chord to master. :cry:
trying to learn the guitar with my 50 birthday just around the corner SH*T it`s come and gone
The F chord is a mother to get but keep trying eventually it will happen.

bry.....welcome to the world of guitars. Lots of people dont even use it....they just barre it or something....i didn't learn it until i had to learn it for worship at camp or church...i can't remember.

Bry,
Yeah, its a toughy. Most players have a hard time with it. Keep working at it and it will come.
If your speaking about the mini-barr F. Try rolling your fingers a little toward the nut, it will help you press down the B & E strings.

Hey Bry, yeah it's a toughie - keep at it like everything else, you'll turn the corner eventually...took me while as well...
:?
Meet me tonight in Atlantic City
yeah it took me a while and ive just about got it now! i still cant do the B chords though! :(
'i want that one...'
Bry,
Yeah, I'm also a beginner and am having a hard time with the F chord.
What makes it specially hard for me is that I have a little nerve damage in my forefinger that doesn't let me feel the strings very well.
So I end up pressing down with all my might and this obviously gets my finger and hand tired quicker.
I'm sure it'll come with a lot of practice.

It took me quite a while just to be able to play the mini bar F cleanly and change to and from in a fairly quick time.
It is now pretty easy but the full bar F is still quite a struggle. I can play it ok but getting into position takes way too long.
So the answer to your question is YES the F is a hard chord to master.
Wait till you start messing around with some of the B chords :wink:
