I just wanted to add a follow on question...I have been self taught for about 2 years now, and I joined guitartricks to "learn the basics," so to speak. I am finding a I have a big issue with barre chords, especially with the f chord, which seems to be the toughest to me. If I play a few in sequence, no issues...but going to and from F from an open chord is muy dificil. I CAN NOT play a 4 string or 5 string f-chord at this time. It seems this would help me play certain songs with alot more ease. Is this something I should continue to try to accomplish? or am I better off working on playing a full barred f chord and being able to transition to and from that chord more fluently????

Great site, by the way! I am having alot of fun and learning a lot here!
