Dear Rick,

I'm glad you've started this thread about the infamous "F". It took me quite a while to finally get the 4-string version down (and actually write songs with the F chord in them); but, you're the teacher, so if you say a full barre can be done, I'll give it another go.

Question is, do I have to take responsibility for all the expletives my kids are going to learn while I accomplish this feat? Are you volunteering to come down and explain their new vocabulary to their grandparents? *BG*
