I have three ways of doing a normal F chord.

Method 1 - Use your index finger to bar the two highest strings and your middle and ring fingers worry about fretting the G and D strings respectively.

Method 2 - Probably one of the hardest barre chords to nail when you are learning how to play. I don't lay my finger down flat when I barre the strings, I use the side of my index finger as it's a lot more comfortable. It took a long, long time to get it to ring through, and even longer for it to not cramp up my hand (I still get cramps if I play all barre chords on an acoustic for more than a few minutes)

E A D G B e

1 3 3 2 1 1

Method 3 - This is not so much an F chord, but I used to use it to play along to songs with an F chord when I first started. Switching from C to F was not fun, so I sort of cheated to play one of my favorite songs at the time. I use my pinky for the D, my ring finger for the A, my middle finger for the G, and my Index for the B.
