none taken Guitarpix, funnily enough I do use it for fingrpicking and the trick doesn`t work for all barre chords I still have to barre its just the easiest way I have found for playing an F and any other chord that looks like an F but played on different frets, that is at least until I get halfway up the fretboard, then I`ll switch to the barre I tend to hold the notes with whatever finger I find to be the easiest for me and not always how it says in the chord books, with some chords anyway, but your right in that it is something that has to be practiced repeatedly, barreing that is, not the hooking of the thumb, thats just my personal preference LOL
