"Okay, in this segment I'm going to show you the F Major 7 barre chord, and again I can show you in two different positions. The F Major 7 starts on the first fret, which is F here, and you're going to barre the first fret. You're going to have your thumb in the middle firmly pressing that, and then you're going to have your third finger on the third fret on the A string, and then your second finger on the second fret on the G, and it'll sound like this...that is F Major 7, and I'll strum through that again.
