I actually just joined to post this.... I play acoustic guitar, but my hands are tiny (and slightly deformed due to the arthritis I inherited from my mom) so F and B chords have always been out of bounds for me. I know the "cheating" versions don't sound quite right, but they are SO much easier for some people to play. I just wanted you to know, it's not always a lack of determination that leads people to give up on guitar - sometimes it's just not possible.
