Now it’s time to learn our next chord which is the F major chord.

The F chord is formed with the 3rd finger on the 3rd fret of the 4th string, the 2nd finger on the 2nd fret of the 3rd string, and the 1st finger “barring” the 1st fret of the 1st and 2nd strings.

It is the barring of the 1st and 2nd strings at the 1st fret that gives the most difficulty.

Note: The 6th & 5th strings are not played and should be muted.
