Hello Dlashme,

I have also struggled with this chord. Struggled to the point where I configured my own way to play the F-Chord. What I do is Barre the first fret and place middle and ring finger on the other frets needed for this chord. Will this turn around and bite me later in guitar playing...maybe, but what I tell myself is since I am the one playing the guitar, I need to find a way to play that works best for me. Will this work for you? Maybe, maybe not. Find what works best for you. Try different things.

That being said, you have come the right forum for answers and help.

Jon
