Tips for Playing the F9 Chord:
Finger Placement: Keep your middle, ring, and pinky fingers curved and close to the frets to avoid muting other strings accidentally.
Mute the Low E String: The low E string shouldn’t be played. Use your ring finger to lightly touch the E string to mute it, or consciously avoid strumming it.
Strumming Pattern: When you strum, focus on strumming from the D string downwards, avoiding the low E & A. This gives the chord its full sound.
Hand Position: Keep your thumb low on the back of the neck to give your fingers more reach and flexibility.
