I was wondering if the F Major chord is really supposed to be as hard as it is for me, and is it really hard for anyone else? I have been trying for the past 2 days to get it right and have only been able to strum it right twice now. I'm sure I will eventually get it, but is it this hard for most people. As well, does getting the chords down get much easier after my fingers callous over? As of the moment they hurt, not unbearable, however I have to break my practice time down into 3 20 minute chunks throughout the day. After 20 minutes my fingers just can't take anymore.
