Hello,

Im 55, and have just started learning guitar. I started the course about 6 weeks ago, and am about 70% of the way through fundamentals 1. I am absolutley loving it, and would recommend it to anyone, and indeed do so.

Ive got to grips with everything so far(good enough to progress anyway), and practice about twice a day in hour long sessions, and pick up the guitar at other times too.

But Im really struggling with Fmajor chord as taught in this oart of the course, the barre on 1st fret 1st and 2nd string etc. Almost every string rings dead, every time. I have the memory to get my fingers on the right strings andd frets, but cant place them well enough to stop deadening the strings. Its very frustrating. I dont want to get to a stage where i just avoid F.

help

thanks
