so i'm still on my journey to become a halfway decent guitar player, and while i'm always working on my strumming and shifting, and i know the basic chords by heart by now, there's still one thing that's been bugging me that i'd like to call to attention: the FUCKING f chord.

Since I'm assuming that the majority of people who read this aren't guitar players: let me show you what it looks like:

looks easy enough, right? well, maybe if you have abnormally long fingers, it might be, but for me and my malnourished little cheeto fingies, this is one hell of a fucking claw that i have to make to have the chord ring out okay.

the main thing is that it's a barre chord, i.e you have to push down on one ENTIRE fret with your index finger, while simultaneous fretting with your other fingers.

since you have to barre the first fret, you have to put a shit ton of pressure on with your index finger to have the chord ring out without too much buzzing. this chord is, quite literally, intricately designed to fuck up guitar players.

And on top of all of that, you have to actually learn to shift from something like, a D or G chord, to an F chord, in under a second, without fucking up.

Now, normally I skip barre chords, since the songs that I usually listen to don't really use them, but the F chord is unavoidable, due to how common it is. This thing will ruin your fucking life forever, if you ever dare encounter it.

I've said this in the NG chat before and I'll say it again here: If I ever become pope, or controller of the world, or whatever, I will ban the F chord from all music. That shit will become the new tritone, it's just banned. Anyone who dares use it will suffer harsh consequences. Fuck this thing
