    err..thanx.. i saw some posts..right below mine..but they eventually couldnt help me much!! :p

    only 1 thing which i've learnt that use the outside of your first finger to barre across the 1st and 2nd strings at the 1st fret.

    not life saving indeed
    tahda!

    try not to hold it in a baseball bat kinda grip (that's what DesiPride calls it!!)....try to press ur thumb against the fretboard's back ....that shud give u enough grip to execute tha chord correctly....

    that's the quick suggestion......look in beginners forum under guitar chords post...

    Also you could go to the 5th or 6th fret and practise holding the F chord way....hope you follow what I am trying to tell..... All this while I was holding my thumb ending just above the base E. I am trying to change my grip to beneath the frets.

    @ newbie, keep practising. one fine day it will work its charm!

    Instead of pressing the first fret flat with your index finger try fretting it with a slight twist in your finger. Go to www.cyberfret.com or here are the pictures that may help you finger this...don't let the red cut scare you :)

    F chord and its mastery differentiates the boys from men, guitar-wise.

    what bull.. nothing like that its only a chord..
    once u get F, ur biound to find another chord which u will find tough.. and the learing process will continue.

    I was just wondering
    Whats the diff between
    E--1-|----|----|
    B--1-|----|----|
    G--1-|--2|-----|-
    D--1-|----|--3--|--
    A--1-|----|--4--|--
    E--1-|----|------|-


    AND

    E--1-|----|----|
    B--1-|----|----|
    G--1-|--2|-----|-
    D--1-|----|--3--|--
    A--1-|----|--3--|--
    E--1-|----|------|-


    Maybe to make life really easy, try it out! instead of playing the A string on the 4th fret why not the 3rd fret...

    Correct me if I'm wrong!
