According to my iPhone, and the way I've usually fingered that chord (and it wasn't a dumb question):

That was my guess but on cord find it was F#/Gb then minor on the finder.

I will try to learn it that way.

Thanks

That is the correct way to play it. I am a relative newbie myself but isn't a F sharp minor the same as G flat minor? Were you confused by the 2 names?

:D I am sitting here bouncing the heal of my right hand off my forehead:D

It was F#/Gb on the chart. I don't know what I was thinking. Just a combination of being a newbie and old I guess.

Guitar Toolkit. The version I have also provides a guitar tuner that works quite well which is why I bought it. The chord dictionary, for me, was a bonus as I don't know the names of most chords even though I've been playing for many years. The "lite" version doesn't have the tuner section.

Lou, I sent you a PM.

If bar chords are tough for you, you can often substitute an F#m7 for the F#m. It would be 2X222X. (If you're strumming, you'll have to mute the 5th and 1st strings)

That's one of my very favorite chords to work with. I use it when I'm writing songs heavy with A, E, D chords. Blends well.
