Hi Tim,
I haven't been here all that long myself, but I'm impressed with the input from people of all degrees of guitar playing. I think everyone understands the F chord vexation. I've been trying to play guitar for 30 plus years now, and I still have questions. I hear people talk about theory, but I don't know anything about it. I just play what I feel. Good luck. Start teaching those kids to play. In my opinion, a family that plays together- stays together.
