The F major chord - grr

[GenisofArchael]

So being new to guitar I celebrated today as I finally started getting into full chords. I'm getting the A major The E The D and The C, but once I got to F I ran into a wall. Are there any tips for playing the F chord specifically the first two strings.

Use your index finger to make a bar on the first 2 strings in the 1st fret. Then build the rest of the chord, and try to make the notes clear.

Keep in mind this is not a full bar chord.

you could use you 1st finger to barre the first four strings. another way is from C major turn you who hand using the thumb on the back of the neck as a piviot leaving your first finger on the b string and lifting the other fingers.

Just practice the barre with your index. Make sure you have good pressure from your thumb on the back of the neck. I always have my thumb on the lower 2/3 of the back of the neck when i play bars, I personally think it helps with pressure.
