Thanks to all of you who have taken the time to answer my newbie questions as it has been a lot of help.
I have been struggling with the F Chord, specifically barring the F & C notes while stretching to hold the A & F notes. No matter what I tried I kept muting adjacent strings.
While doodling around with this issue I thought to try something different.
Instead of using the middle finger on the A string I used my ring finger and then used my pinky on the F Chord. (I will admit the little guy is sore but will toughen up with time.)
The 1st time I hit the strings with this method it worked like a charm!!
I hope this may help other newbies who have struggled with this chord.
My Best To All
