F Minor barre chords on acoustic guitar

[Doom Metal Alchemist]

My first finger hurts.

I'll make a career out of cheating that chord, even if it costs me my marriage

I get the feeling that's a quote...

[Bouvre]

It is when you put it in quotations.

Aside from that, it was off the top of my head.

Oh.  Do you share the same frustration with F minor barre chords?

[NeurocideVibekillah]

I usually cheat that chord by not fretting the 6th string 1st fret but play everything else the same. Unless you really need that lower tone I usually skip it if I'm playing busy chord progressions.

 

This song for example; which uses the F maj chord in the verse, I usually skip the lower tones in the F until the turn around, where the progression repeats, where you play only a partial F maj - 6th string to 4th.

Neuro, that's an interesting strategy. If I am ever in the position again where I need to fret this chord on an acoustic (I was in a guitar class at the time I made this thread, I am no longer in it anymore) then I could try this.

Not really. I cheat by using my thumb on the low E string. Good ol' long fingers.
