    Number 2 on that list is priceless and great advice—always blame the bass player.

    There was a guy who planned out a hidden video in a GC to try out a guitar, pretending to be a complete beginner, then said he would blow them away with his skill by surprise. Turns out he actually did sound like a beginner.

    I wish I could find that again.

    I am wondering, what could be the content of the article F Chord Myth: Is it Even Necessary?

    Kinda associate the qoute from Amadeus "Too many notes" the Emperor said about some few minutes Mozart play.

    I imagine it could be along the lines of how most tunes played by mediocre guitarists are in the key of E, so with any luck you may never encounter one.

    However, should you be unlucky (or just mad) and need one, then please purchase a back-copy of our January 2012 edition and start Working Your Way To Barre Chords.

    The F chord seems to be a problem for many beginners, if the many experts offering solutions is any indication. Among them, Justin Guitar, Tomas Michaud and the National Guitar Academy are some of the best known.

    ...the F word (I mean chord) is hard, so workaround is completely OK, I was LOL the ambigous meaning of the "is it even necessary?" title

    As I remember House of the Rising Sun was pretty common in the group, all boys wanted to play it incuding me, because girls asked for it. It was necessary :-)

    I love chord books. Trying combinations of shapes is one of life's great pleasures.

    I like this section from the book The Advancing Guitarist by Mick Goodrick.

    It gives guitarists practical advice about how to defend themselves when other musicians complain about their lacking abilities.

    I play music, with no erm about it. I chose to make music in unconventional ways, which I find immensely rewarding. I have not received any complaints.

    This reminds me just a little bit of both the old joke about the difference between a rock and a jazz guitarist, and the claim about monkeys, typewriters and Shakespeare's collected works

    (IOW: music is a bit more than a random sequence of abritrary chords to me, no matter how pleasurable it can be to play just that)

    I would not expect any more from you. I don't care what you think about music, and I cannot be bothered to correct you on the assumptions you have made about my tastes. I think it is extremely unpleasant to sneer at someone's music. Your mockery displays nothing more than a small and fearful mind. Rather than enduring your nasty little comments in future, I will block you.
