For the F to F6 chords use the thumb to play the
low F on the 6th string and have an open 5th string.
Another option, play the chords on the top 4 strings
and use your index finger to play the bass notes.
=====================================================
For the closest chord box diagrams to my chord legend
suggestions you will need to manually select the
following options by clicking on the forward/backward
arrows beneath each diagram...
F   <2 of 16>    E4  <3 of 25>    A4   <2 of 21>
F6  <2 of 28>    G4  <15 of 20>   Am9  <3 of 16>

All the other chord boxes should be the default
first option and don't need reselecting
