In this week's Chord of the Day I wanted to present to you all the different grips we can use for the F chord and its possible substitutions in the open position, incorporating both additional fretted notes and open strings. An F chord is formed with the notes F, A and C. We can play a simple triad shape across strings 4, 3 and 2. If I replace the A note on string 3 with the open G I create what is called an Fsus2. Adding an open string 1 to these shapes creates an Fmaj7 (commonly used by beginners to replace an F chord) or Fmaj7sus2. I can fret notes on string 1 to create a mini-barre F chord when pressing into fret 1 with finger 1. Grabbing the G note on fret 3 with the pinky finger creates an Fadd9. I have another Fsus2 if I add the open string 3 to this grip. As you become comfortable with these shapes and your technique develops you can look to add extra notes to the lower strings. Adding a C note on string 5 creates a series of slash chords (in which F is considered the root note but the lowest note we play is a C). The final stage is to try and add an F note on string 6 using the thumb over the top of the neck. This allows you to play chord grips with open strings, which will not be possible with a full barre F chord. Finally I'll show you how to play the barre F chord. I find it helpful to think about an E chord shape being formed in fingers 2, 3 and 4, with finger 1 acting as a capo to press across all the strings. This one takes time but little and often is the key to getting this sounding clean.

What happens if you listen to too much music?

TOO LONG? TOO LOUD? Frequent exposure to sound over 70 decibels (dB) can cause hearing problems and hearing loss over time. The louder the sound, the quicker it can cause damage.

houstonmethodist.org - Headphones & Your Hearing: Can Loud Music Cause Hearing Loss?

There's nothing like listening to your favorite song. There's also nothing like listening to your favorite song on blast.

But while jamming through a workout or bopping along to your Daily Mix as you work, should you reconsider the volume of your music?

"Our ears are incredibly complex and sensitive. There are thousands of cells with millions of tiny hair-like structures in our inner ear that facilitate hearing, but these cells and structures can be damaged by loud sound," warns Dr. Brian Wang, ear nose and throat doctor specializing in hearing loss at Houston Methodist. "If damage accumulates over time and causes you to lose hearing, you can't get it back. Similarly, if you're exposed acutely to a very loud noise like a firecracker, it's very hard to recover from that trauma." To reduce your risk of hearing loss, Dr. Wang recommends learning when your music is considered too loud and how to listen safely. Sounds are everywhere, and the volume of a sound is described in decibels (dB). Sounds less than around 70 dB are safe and won't typically affect your hearing. As sounds get louder and/or the amount of time you listen to loud sounds gets longer, damage to your hearing becomes more and more likely. (Related: When Should I Worry About Ringing In My Ears?) "What many people may not realize is that the maximum volume of personal listening devices is well above 70 dB, and when you're using earbuds or headphones to listen to your music the sound is going directly into to your ear," explains Dr. Wang. "Listening to your music too loudly, as well as loudly for extended periods of time, can indeed cause damage to your hearing over time."
