i have just brought myself a fender squire i been playing about 2 weeks have good days trying to play and bad ones but the dredded f chord verry testing , kev

hello and welcome,keep going it will all come together sometime,ive had mine for a year now and im still struggilling.

Ah the F chord indeed. Keep at it. It's actually one of the chords I now find easiest to play and it's a very versatile shape for up and down the neck.

Welcome and hang in there!

I actually got the F chord down when I stop thinking about it.

My grandsons are trying to learn the guitar, I have told them that it is not a quick learn as there are so many facets - all the fingers can be involved and your brain has to learn to direct your hands without thinking - very difficult. If you keep at it long enough, eventually you will be able to do it all without even looking at your hands.

The first year is the worst, but the rewards are well worth the effort.

Welcome aboard!

Welcome to the forum blueripley

I disagree with the statement above. Alternate tunings are not your friend, particularly at this stage of the game.

Welcome
