Funny thing though...... I'm not sure the F or B chords are any easier on a smaller guitar, but perhaps the Nylon strings help??
Darn busted! Your onto it Doug 
I was kinda thinking it might help that F chord lol

Roger ........... thanks for that link, i had a look at it
I also looked up June Carter Cash and in the video i watched she played it both ways https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FMaRgFxqvQ0 She plays it one way at the beginning and then after the interview, she plays it the other way her mother used to play it.

Zurf .......... I`m not even gonna look at the dreaded B chord yet , i figure the evil F Chord is enough for now lol. Thanks for the suggestions as well ............... will try and give it ago then ago.
Amy .........thank you as well. The diagram you put in your comment is the F chord i play at the moment and i still struggle with it. Thanks for all the tips, i think i will try the classical style for awhile and see how i get on.
THANKS AGAIN EVERYONE for all the help

Zurf ....... welcome to the world of Sound Cloud ......it`s pretty easy to use. I haven`t yet set up a YOU TUBE account, so cant comment on that.
Loved both your covers of ~Wagon Wheel~ and ~Down on the Corner~ .... some great tabbing in there and loved the chatter and chuckles happening in amongst it all, that just added to it and gave it a personal touch. You have a great voice ........... i didn`t need any wine or cheese in my ears to listen

Re: Enter your name for a chance to pick the FSOM for AUGUST 2016 (46 replies, posted in Featured Song of the Month)
dalebeston ........... awesome choices, like both of them
But just to let you know, Suggested Featured Song of the Month for August this time around, is being run a little differently to last month. This time members just have to enter your name in here, not song choices, and then towards the end of the month, all the names will go in a hat and the name that is drawn out, will get to pick the song for August. So if your name gets picked out of the hat, then you can pick your song of choice and then everyone who wants to participate will all perform your song.
Hope that makes sense

nice change from rubbishing the B chord, by the way, is the amnesty over? haven't heard much about it for some time.....FOL
back to F, i mostly play it up the neck or using my index finger holding down the B & E strings leaving the bass E unplayed (is that a word?) again the C to F to C to F is good practice and you know what practice makes?....yeah you're right...... blisters.
phill
Phill .............. i haven`t advanced enough yet on guitar to have tried the B chord yet! ....... don`t tell me i am in for more horrible chords to play 
Playing the F chord up the neck, is that like frets further up? or do you mean barring? I am obvioulsy going to have to google the F chord.
Oh yeah .....now I am just showing how much i don`t know about guitars and chords aren`t I

Jan
I know what you are saying girl.
I used to avoid the F like it was a disease.
Now I kind of prefer the F - I like it's sound along with the C.Remember - the first guys naming notes probably named it an " F " chord for a reason !
Keep on keeping on - it will get easier.Jim
TIGLJK ............ yes i love the sound of the F chord too and YES i am sure whoever named it that F letter/Chord had a very good reason!!!! lol

TF ........... now that is a good idea, I have tried that in the past and it felt more comfortable i must admit ........... but i then noticed most guitar players didn`t seem to play like that, so i thought i was doing it wrong, so i stopped playing it that way................but maybe i will go back to that style because it is definately easier to get my hand on there and bar that F chord. Thanks

Re: That darn F chord on Guitar (20 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
Roger .......... Thanks for that ........ i am guessing your talking about barring chords, which i haven`t mastered yet I am still in the learners mode, so my C chord is just on 3 strings at this point

Yep. I remember those days of not being able to play anything with an F chord.
Try bouncing back and forth between the F and C. I used to do that every night as part of my practice routine when I started learning. Just a few minutes every time you get the guitar out and you'll have it in a couple weeks.
Thanks unclejoesband ......... good idea and yep i hope i get it soon too ......makes songs terrible every time i have to stop to play the F chord.
