For some reason it seems that most beginners have the hardest time playing the F chord. I did when I started playing. Getting my wrist to bend and be able to hold down the strings with enough pressure seemed impossible. Now, 30 years later, I don't even think about it.

It really just takes practice. There aren't any hidden secrets. It seems that is the answer to nearly all guitar playing problems. Patients truly is a virtue. Along with a stubborness to not let a piece of wood beat you.

Just keep trying it everyday, but not so much that it hurts your arm, and eventually it will become as natural as jumping off a 70ft cliff in frigid :) temperatures to one of those small blue palstic swimming pools that all of the neighborhood kids used to paly in on the front yard on a hot summer day........................

excuse me. Good luck :)
