Let's take a look at the F shape, the student destroyer, the one that gets more kids to quit in the first two weeks than any other chord or at least it frustrates them more than any other chord. And I am going to take a radical approached here and not do that F shape at the first fret.
I am going to try here at the fifth fret. Again sometimes on some instruments trying it up the fretboard and away from the nut can make a chord a lot easier to do. And I am not going to put the bar down right away. What I am going to do is I am going to put my third finger here at the seventh fret of the fourth string and my second finger at the sixth fret of the third string, and I am not going to worry about the bar right now, I am going to pick, the fourth string make sure that's nice and clear. Pick the third string, that's nice and clear; pick the second string, nice and clear, and the first string that's nice and clear.
I am going to get those notes nice and clean first before I even think about adding the bar. Pressing with the tips my knuckles curving just the right way. Take each of those strings individually and make sure they are nice and clean. And then now we are going to add -- once we feel confident that those four notes are nice and clean then we are going to add the bar. So take out first finger and then just do that to a string bar there and then pick through.
So with the third finger here on the fifth fret of the fourth string pick that and slide up to the seventh fret. Then with your first finger you are going to bar the fifth fret on the third finger string.
Place your third finger on this seventh fret here on the third and the second string and you are going to bend both of those notes.
