Is f the hardest guitar chord?
It’s one of the hardest shapes to play on the guitar. It’s with far too much effort and struggle that many people attempt to play the F chord on guitar. Even the most influential guitarists have a hard time with it. In this lesson, we’ll take a look at how to learn and play this chord.
We’ll start with the root note and work our way up to the 3rd, 5th, 7th and 9th frets. This will give you a solid foundation to work from when you’re ready to move on to more advanced chord shapes.
Why is an F chord so hard?
Because it’s on the 1st fret of your guitar it’s difficult to play. It takes tremendous finger strength to barre across the first fret on a standard guitar, and it takes even more to do the same on an electric guitar.
If you’re a beginner, you’ll want to start with a fretless guitar and work your way up to a fretted instrument. If you’ve been playing guitar for a while, it may be a good idea to take a look at some of our beginner guitar lessons.

What does F major look like?
Its notes are f, g, a, b, c, d, e, and f. The F maj scale has a total of seven notes and F note repeats. If you wanted to add a note to a scale you would have to change the order of all the notes in that scale, which is not possible. The only way you could add notes to any scale is by changing the root note.
So if you want to play a C Major scale with the same notes as the C minor scale it would be: C C D E F G A B C# D# E# F# G# A# B# C. That’s it. You don’t need to do anything else to make it sound good.

What is the saddest chord on guitar?
The minor and the 7 stepping on the root are sad things for the minor 7. It might be the most sad song I’ve ever heard in my life. The major 7 chord is also a sad chord, as it has the same 7 steps as the 7th chord.
However, it’s not as sad because it doesn’t have the step of the major. This is the only chord that I can think of that has a step that isn’t a 7 step step.
