Hi, I'm a beginner who just started learning the F barre chord.

I can't get string 1 and 2 to ring clearly without applying insane force. Hmm I guess I have to just keep practicing until I can make it ring clearly without much effort.

How was your F barre chord journey? I'm sure experienced players here can enlighten my path.

I'm mostly surprised I've almost never heard anyone complain about F minor, which IMO, 18 years later, is still a pain to play, if you need to play it over and over in a song. Getting the minor third on the G is a lot harder to me than any other common bar chord.
