About F major

F major is built from three notes: F (root), A (major third) and C (perfect fifth). In scale degrees above the root, the formula is 1 – 3 – 5. Its major third gives it a cheerful, open character, the most common in pop, rock and folk.

On guitar, F major has 4 common shapes: the E, D, C and A shapes. These are CAGED system shapes, the basis for playing the same chord anywhere on the neck. There are 16 more voicings sorted by difficulty; use the viewer switches to add inversions and stretches.
