>> 'F maj and D min are pull chords on a C/G anglo.'
Actually, no - or anyhow, the F not so easily as the Dm; the F & A are pull notes, but the C is a pusher... <<

My default F chord has always been F,F,A - using button 1 on top row and 4 & 5 middle row. True, it disobeys my preference for 1 + 5 chords, but needs must. Though the C on the G row can be added without too much discomfort when you're used to it.

>> Why, out of interest, do you find LH melody & RH chords 'confusing'? <<

Many years of playing the other way - it just feels really weird.

We really must be annoying the English system players now!
