I truly appreciate all the encouragement!
Still "whittling away" at this.
As yet am unable to play either the "baby" F chord (XX3211) or the "full" F chord (133211).
I'm having an argument with my fretting fingers, I think. When trying the small F chord and flattening my index finger over the B and high E strings, my ring finger insists on dropping down just enough to mute the B string. Doesn't seem to matter if I fret the D and G strings first, then barre the B and high E strings, or barre the B/high E strings then fret the D and G strings...my ring finger wants to drop down just a tad.
(Note that all the above is in the first position...it's certainly not as difficult farther down the neck.)
Am considering adding a second guitarist to my practice sessions. His only job will be to play F chords when necessary. 😄
