I don't know what an F sharp minor looks like. I can only guess from the video. I know your barring the second fret and putting your ring finger on the fourth fret on the A string but I can't tell where the other finger is. I played it and it sounds alright to me without the other finger. I just barred the 2nd fret and put my ring finger on the 4th fret on the A string.

@horseman528 Its like an E minor but the barred finger is acting as the nut on the second fret. So basically by string and fret it's Low E 2nd, A 4th, D 4th G 2nd, B 2nd, and hight E 2nd. If you cant make the bar at least get the E A and D strings down... that will sound pretty good.

@mosybohica Thanks. I enjoyed your rendition. Sounds more like the original to me than others on youtube. I have it down but not as good as you do it.

Can you tell me what you do after you play the "D" chord when you sing "Fanny"? You play a few notes, lift up your index finger and then go into the A chord but I can't really follow it. Thanks so much for putting this on youtube. Great job!
