The Alt 1 is the classical way to play an F Major chord. It drops the bass power chord, giving it a more focused feel on the strong major chord harmony.

The first chart shows the classic rock position and fingeringtypical classical voicing, at least for beginners. Notice how the index finger is used on multiple frets. This is done by flattening the finger and using the fingerprint to cover two or sometimes even three strings. The first next chart is a bit different, using the index on not only the 1st and 2nd strings, but also the 6th. This is done by using a ''barre chord''chord.
=== First Barre Chord ===
<u>Barre chords </u> are formed by flattening the index finger and using the entire finger to fret all or most of the strings. They are akin to moving the nut (or a capo) up the fretboard. Your other 3 fingers are able to form whatever shape is necessary to make virtually any chord desired.
This F chord contains a standard root-fifth-octave power chord in the bass, which gives it a stronger rock feel.
