Keep those lessons coming

Any old F chord will do the job, 67mark, which ever you find easiest to play. Plain old chords are just three notes that are played together, and on a guitar they can found in many locations and configurations. When you play a big six-string barre F chord, you're doubling up on one of those notes (the 5), tripling up on another (the 1, or root) and there's a 3 in there as well. As long as you get one of each -- 1-3-5 -- you're playing a major chord.
