you need to practice the barre chords if you want to get anywhere in the music industry! Greenday have released about 7 albums all based on 3 barre chords! user added image

If you feel you can't manage it you can also play that same chord "F" by doing:

------1-------
------1-------
------2-------
------3-------
------3-------
------x-------

As you can see you just mute / don't play the lower E string. It's a lot easier to fret and I think it sounds better!

Keep trying with the barre chords it will come eventually! It just takes damn loads of practice!

Good Luck!
