Hi All,

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
