How to play F on piano

The F chord is F A C: F (root), A (major 3rd), C (perfect 5th).

Right hand: thumb on F, then fingers 3 and 5 on A and C. Left hand: finger 5 on F, 3 and 1 on the notes above.

Each inversion moves the bottom note up an octave. Practicing them in a row teaches your hand the same chord in three shapes, so you can reach it from wherever your hand already is.
