This little bastard is well known for giving beginners a tough time. Rather than learning the F chord as one single strum, I started to learn a song that used finger picking of the F chord. By doing this, I was able to hear every individual string sound to make sure I was holding the chord correctly and with enough pressure. I also learned how to play the smaller barred version of the F chord instead of the normal method since it was a lot easier. So to learn a finger picking song that uses an F chord... hmm... I got it. Only the most badass song ever. So without further ado, may I present you with the easiest way to learn the F chord, The House of the Rising Sun by the Animals.
I finally took the plunge into the guitar world in the summer of 2010. Although I didn't start to learn songs until a few months in, I routinely practiced the five main major chords over and over and over again. When my junior year of college started, I began to learn full songs from artists such as Sublime, ACDC, Cream, Bob Marley, Creedence Clearwater Revival, and the Red Hot Chili Peppers. This blog is to show my progress as I attempt to teach myself the ins and outs of the guitar.
