  • @bobrelyea2726
    @bobrelyea2726 7 лет назад +127

    These are some of the best tips I have ever seen. It took me almost three months of determined practice to play the full F Major. And it has taken another year and a half of practice to be able to transition to it in time. And many times, I'm still partial or late. It takes patience and practice....lots of practice, and then more practice. And upon learning this chord in a song, everything else done on guitar becomes easier. Your hand doesn't naturally do what is required here. Practice.

Just also I'd like to thank Andy guitar for all his speciality tips and tricks and inside know how and how to translate it into such a relatable way

    Great advice, particularly practicing the first position e chord with the same three fingers as the barred f.
    This was the key for me as my pinkie always fell on the same string as my ring finger. I'm off and running now as the barred f opens up the whole fretboard.

    Thanks Andy really helpful and I guess I’m getting there - slowly! One thing that has also helped me is that at the start of learning this I was putting the barre finger down last. So the I forced myself to play it putting the barre finger down first. After awhile alternating between these two methods the fingers are starting to go down much more together. May not work for everyone but it has helped me.

    This is a great lesson, Andy. For me the most useful tip was #2. Keeping the thumb low behind the neck is great not only for building the muscle, but because it puts your hand in the best position for moving to the F chord. Hanging your thumb over the top of the neck for open chords like C and G was a habit to break but totally worth it! That's how classical guitar players do it.

    Learning F chord or barre chords in general is really a struggle in the beginning. But once you nailed F barre chord, doing it is just like doing an open chord. It will be just second nature.
    Learning F chord is like learning C chord, you will have a hard time at the beginning. The only difference is it will take longer to learn F barre chords.

    Notes:
    Side of finger
    Finger not to far above fretboard - just sticking out a bit
    Thumb right behind the index finger
    Close to the fret
    Fingers slight angle towards you
    Use bottom fingers to play open chords
    Changing on beat four (instead of the and)
    Practice F to G - C - Am
    Great lesson! 😁

      If anyone here uses Yousician, playing "Mr. Brightside" is a good way to learn the F chord. It uses F, G, C, and Am :)

    That was almost instant. After your tip about using your 2,3,4 to play E. And sliding them down to play. F. The sound was instantly better. Unbelievable tip. Awesome. I had a knife injury in my hand years ago. I honestly thought until this lesson...that I would not get this chord. Amazing tip!

    This is so helpful! Thank you, Andy! I'm working on You Can Count on Me by Bruno Mars and it has that dang F chord, but I'm determined!!
