The F barre chord

About 6 minutes

F is a rite of passage. Lay your index finger flat across all six strings at the 1st fret, then build an E major shape in front of it with your other three fingers.

Roll the index finger slightly onto its bony side, and pull back with your arm rather than squeezing with your thumb. It takes a few weeks. Everyone buzzes at first.

F342

Strum F four times

To pass: three of four strums heard as f. The mic listens only while you play, and nothing is recorded.

F342

Ready

Strum F four times

Change on the last beat, land on the one. The mic only listens while you play.
