(If you’re interested I use the principle of Common Chord Fingers and explain it in more detail in my Real Guitar Success Academy.)ĭo this for just a few minutes each day and you'll have this easy F guitar chord down. But instead of the F barre chord, Id recommend playing a barre chord higher up the neck. Strum each chord one time and then change.įinally, increase the speed of the metronome a little bit at a time (5bpm) to build up speed. Next, youll want to practice a barre that stretches over 6 strings. When you can do this without too much of a challenge, strum once per chord. Practice so you can change on time without stopping or slowing down. To help keep you on time use a metronome at a slow speed. To practice, strum the C chord twice, and then change to the F chord (while leaving the Common Chord Fingers where they are each time). Now let's move back to the C chord.ĭo this a few times without strumming to get the feel of the movement. These are what we call Common Chord Fingers.
Keep your first and third fingers in place during the chord change. Move your middle finger up one string to the 3rd string (still 2nd fret), and place your pinky on the 3rd fret of the 4th string. From here there are only two small movements to get to the easy F chord. Lastly, place your pinky on the 5th fret of the 4th string. Next, place your ring finger on the 5th fret of the 5th string. Start by placing your index finger on the 3rd fret of the 6th string.
This is your standard C Major open chord. Power chords are the foundation of most barre chord shapes and are very useful on their own.

It’s effective for two reasons…ġ) It uses a chord that’s very often used with F. Compare the diagrams below: the fingers don’t move in relation to one another instead, the whole hand moves to a different position on the fretboard.
Here is an extremely effective way to practice this. Knowing the chord doesn’t help unless you can play it smoothly without thinking about it.
