Guitar Lessons for Beginners Video
This guitar lessons video will show how to play an easy F chord for beginners. This beginner guitar lesson will also show how to increase you chord chord vocabulary on guitar by introducing concepts such as moveable chords and chord voicings. With guitar tabs and chord diagrams, we'll cover it all with a step by step approach.

How to play an F Chord on Guitar
There are many ways to play an ‘F’ chord, including the full six-string barre shape that even pro guitarists consider frustrating to play. The beginners guitar lesson will start with an easy ‘F’ chord shape using just four strings.

Easy F Chord on Guitar for Beginners
For beginners, getting all four strings of an ‘F’ chord to sound clearly will be a challenge. What makes the ‘F’ chord difficult for beginners is that the first finger needs to be flattened or partially barred across the top two strings while the second and third fingers need to simultaneously be curved in order to fret the third and fourth strings.

F Chord Exercise for Beginners on Guitar
Play an ‘F’ chord arpeggio using a pick or the thumb. Most likely, all four strings will not sustain or ring clearly. Continue to slide the ‘F’ chord shape up one fret at time and repeat the four-note arpeggio until reaching the fifth fret position. Try to at get clarity from the fourth (bass note) and third strings to start. The goal is to improve finger strength by keeping the fretting hand pressed down against the strings while moving up the fretboard.

Tips for Playing F Chord Arpeggios
1. Play each guitar arpeggio slowly. Even if all the strings do not ring clearly, continue on with the exercise. Simply holding the ‘F’ shape down and sliding up one fret at a time builds finger strength in the left hand, which will then make the finger arpeggio exercise easier to practice.
2. The first string, (last string played in the arpeggio exercise) will usually be the most difficult to sound for beginners. Even though the objective is to play all four strings in each arpeggio clearly, make sure the fourth, third, and second strings sound clear before focusing on the first string.
3. Most likely, the first clear-sounding or ‘perfect’ arpeggio will be the last one played along the fifth fret due to the frets being positioned closer together higher up the fretboard.
4. The goal is to get a total of all 20 notes to ring clear (four clear-sounding notes per arpeggio).

F Chord Shape = 12 Chords
When moving an ‘F’ chord shape up from fret to fret, all four notes from the ‘F’ chord shift up together simultaneously, resulting in a moveable chord shape. To make an ‘F’ chord shape moveable, simply ‘count-up’ the chromatic scale and twelve potential chords can be played with just one moveable chord shape.

Chords Are Moveable
To make any chord moveable, the general rule is that all notes that make up a chord shape must simultaneously move together up or down the fretboard. Understanding this concept of moveable chords can dramatically improve a beginner guitarist’s chord vocabulary.

Chord Voicings Guitar Lesson for Beginners
With guitar chord voicings, there is more than one way to play a particular chord on guitar. For example, the moveable ‘F’ chord shape played along the fifth fret is an ‘A’ chord, which is a different chord voicing from the standard ‘open A’ chord. Both chord voicings contain the same notes that makeup an ‘A’ chord (‘A’, ‘C#’, ‘E’).
