Hi Mike, 


Thanks for your feedback on my video submission, specifically on Learning to Fly and make sure I'm playing an F and not Fmaj7. I don't have the skill to switch that quickly to the barre chord or certainly don't have the technique to fret the B and high E with my index. So, I think I'll just play the 4 finger F and strum the middle four strings (I'm also not great about getting my thumb on the low E first fret though I do try). Bottom line - I think it's a great suggestion. Technically if I just play the middle four strings, what's the name of the chord - F/C? 


Thanks!
Gautham

Hey Gautham - huge apologies that I'm getting back to you 3 months later!! I somehow missed this until now!


Yes, you are correct - that would be called an F/C.
