Hi Billy

I am talking about the F chord as in this link

https://www.guitartricks.com/lesson.php?input=23477&s_id=1906

and its not a bar code, well it is a semi bar chord...

What happens is that I see some people using Fm7 as a variation of the chord, maybe to avoid the hassle of the F chord itself... not sure...

I'm still working it out but few results...

Thanks

If you're trying to play the Fm barre chord, it is going to be difficult since it's a barre chord. If you're a beginner, barre chords are really difficult because it may be tough to hold down the strings at the first fret.
