Title: Chord:F
Description: How do you put the fingering to play F?
MisotoKabashite - May 15, 2007 10:31 PM (GMT)
I looked at chord F and i have no idea how i should position my fingers to play it.
Can anyone help me?
Do I use one finger to hold two strings?

yeah you do use one finger to hold down two strings

Yes you can hold two strings with one finger.
But actually, for the F chord, you are suppose to use one finger to hold down ALL strings.
Your index finger is suppose to hold all the strings on the 1st fret like a bar (hence it is called a bar or barre chord).
Try going through the YUI Guitar Tabs and look for Reset's posts. Some of his scans have a chord chart which includes the positions and fingering diagrams and pictures. The resource is there, so make use of it.

An F chord doens't have to be a barre chord. So its not a must to hold down all strings. :P

^ that's if you are playing with the 'cowboy' style (string no 5 & 6 are not plucked) :lol:
tsunvun86 - May 17, 2007 03:12 AM (GMT)
There are still F chords at other positions on the fret. :P

I hold down fret 1 for both string 1+2 with finger 1... fret 2, string 3 with finger 2 and fret 3, string 4 with finger 3. I only just found out that you don't play string 5 and 6, from spica.

I play F with the full bar... It sounds nicer to me... It is the toughest chord to me though... It was the first barre chord I knew and I really stuggled like crazy to get it right... Good thing its easier now...
cherii - May 17, 2007 10:22 AM (GMT)
Can you get it automatically without delays? That would be cool if you could. I think B was my first barre chord, either that or the F. Everyone always says F is dreaded and stuff, and it is. So I play the easier version. ^__^ It'll sound the same until I can play the real version..

It's funny that I can switch full bar F way faster than the 1123xx version :swt
Maybe because I like to play YUI's way :guitar XD
My first bar chord is Bm, TOKYO :P

practice my friend.. practice :lol:
the thoughest? i think barre dim & sus chords are hard to play (yes there is one diminish chord in Cloudy) :swt

F is also harder since its right at the top of the fretboard where the tension is the greatest x3.

Happy F-ing. :guitar

That sounded so wrong in so many levels, haha. :lol:
I noticed YUI has such soft hands...

.... and how do you know that lol

mmmm .... soft :horny
:lol:
That pic is small, but I noticed there is something where the skin meets the nail on her ring finger. Perhaps she got a little cut?? Or perhaps just a flaw in the photo??
cherii - May 18, 2007 04:46 PM (GMT)
When I read what you had to say, snake, I went back and looked at the pic. It does look like a cut, but for some odd reason, at the same time it looks like a mole or something. XD I don't think it would be, considering the spot.
atheon - May 18, 2007 11:09 PM (GMT)
^ I think it's a mole too lol *goes to check YUI's vids*
They said that YUI has very THICK callouses on her fingertips, I would like to 'feel' it someday XD
cherii - May 19, 2007 02:42 AM (GMT)
Haha...it sounds a bit funny. Okay, when atheon goes to meet YUI, she'll ask "Can I feel your fingertips?" XD I'd think she would have big callouses...considering how much guitaring she does. ^__^
>ch|yo< - May 19, 2007 03:23 AM (GMT)
lolx...i would like to feel her finger too...
atheon - May 19, 2007 03:33 AM (GMT)
Maybe I'll ask: Can I shake your hand? (akushu shitemo ii desuka?)
Pretend to be a lefty, then 'molest' YUI's left hand :evil XD
But Japanese tend be reluctant to shake people's hands :huhuhu Nevermind Tokyostory (forum member) shook her hand before, I might have the chance :P

cherii - May 22, 2007 11:12 AM (GMT)
Tokyostory is an older member who doesn't come online/post a lot these days? Hehe...that would be like a once in a lifetime thing to happen to you though. Wonder how she'd react if you went 'feeling' her hand. XD
