I assume you can read tablature:

e|---1-------
B|---1-------
G|---2-------
D|---3-------
A|-----------
E|-----------

thats the version of the f chord that I learned when starting out... and I still use it ocassionally today when it's easier (ie: when changing from Dm to F)

and hey, I play lead electric guitar for my church's worship band, so, if you need any help and/or need to know the chords to a certain song, then you can private message or e-mail me (by clicking on my username)
