I've been using the following finger for an F chord:

xx4312

not sure if that is alright or not, but hey.
I believe that's an F# chord, with X X F# Bb C F#

That is, if your numbers are indicating the frets being played, and not the fingers playing them.

Yes it would be F# - but the spelling of F# uses A# instead of Bb (to keep the accidentals right - F# is spelled with all sharps, Gb with all flats)

It's true the notes are enharmonic, but that doesn't mean you can always substitute one for the other... C-Cx-Ebb-Fb-Fx-A-Ax-B# doens't make a C major scale :)

Thank you for that clarification. I do know that, but obviously didn't dig deep enough into the brain. :oops: :lol:
