The F barre chord is important because it crops up in chord progressions for basic songs in the popular and beginner friendly Key of C
E.g. Let it be. However, there are many options! The F barre chord IS NOT always the “right” or better option.

Hybrid F chord (mini barre & thumb)
Full F barre chord
This Hybrid F chord and Full barre chords are the gateway to being able to play ANY chord because it's a moveable shape
How do we do this?
Realise F is an E chord but one fret up
Whatever the note is on String 6 note gives the F barre or any other chord it’s name
Dotted frets are (F) G, A, B, Csharp and E
We could play an A barre chord at 5th fret string 6 using the same shape learnt for F for example
This is intermediate stuff, and a taster of what’s to come, but NOT the be all and end all
Rhythm, melody, song repertoire all to be considered before plowing on
Recommended F chord progression
