A clip of F & Bar chords
This is a vid I did for my son who lives away from home and is learning guitar via youtube.
It's not very good, but I thought it may be of some help to people having some trouble with the F chord, or bar chords.

Not very good!? It's well done, my friend. Thanks for helping out. This is great.

Becoming a great guitarist has less to do with fancy moves than it does becoming a master of the basics and learning musicianship.
It's not what you can't do. It's how you play what you already know.

Thanks Steve, my son say's it's helping him, so it's all good.
OldG, Thankyou too, the guitar is a 50th B/Day present from my wife and kids. I was given a budget and told to "go get it". I reckon I played 30 guitars over three months before settling on this one (probably picked up 100).
It's by no means the most expensive, and I'm really impressed that you could detect the "sweetness" from that clip.
Cheers,
Skinny.

Thanks for the great tip.
Can't get over the flexibility you have in your finger joints. All I need is some of that and I'll be all set!

Tom, as Stratrat pointed out, it's just practice. You'll be Ok.
Pathfinder, if you keep playing the guitar, flex in your fingers will just "happen". Keep at it!

Neil,
That was a very well done and informative video. I think many will enjoy that. I certainly did.
Even brought out some names I haven't seen here before.
