Still can’t play a solid F chord. waaaa

A piece of advice on the F?

If it's a week, don't worry. Twenty years, then maybe you need to look at how you're learning.

Tip to improve evenness of strumming, use a metronome to keep time and start slow.

Take heart. We all hate the F even after years of playing it.

The first 8 chords or so are easy and the learning curve all of a sudden becomes vertical. It kills many many learners.
