Hi Larry, is it just the F chord in barre form that is giving you trouble or do you find all barre chords difficult?
I'm asking because if its just the F giving you problems, maybe you can go from the G in barre form and just slide the whole thing down two frets to get to the F easier.
Also, have you tried using the F as an open chord? C to F as open chords is just moving your middle and ring fingers down one string each.
I'm certainly no expert and have only been on this site since January myself, but hopefully some of what I said may help you. If not, I'm sure there are others on here, much more knowledgable and skilled than me that can help you out.
Anyway, welcome to the site. I find it to be great fun, easy to follow and the lessons are great. - Have fun!
