Q: any tips for playing bar chords on the guitar? i'm a beginner guitar player and i'm having a really hard time playing an f chord.
A: i'm not so good at it either, my fingers are too skinny. but a good strategy with that chord (or any E form bar chord) is to focus on the first string (E), and last 2 strings (B and E). it doesn't really matter if you bar finger is not really pressing the ones in the middle, because those notes are already being pressed on other frets by your other fingers.
