F5

F1C5

Root and fifth, no third at all — neither major nor minor, which is the point.

What is true of it

F5 is F and C — 1 and 5 counted from F.

The easiest of the 1 fingering below is x588: 3 fingers, held at the 5th fret.

None of them uses an open string, so this chord moves up the neck unchanged — the same shape 1 fret higher is the chord a semitone above.

1 string stays silent.

The brass dots are F, the root. Everything else is a chord tone with its degree printed in it.

x013

An inversion is the same chord with a different note lowest. The name changes to a slash name because the bass is what a listener hears as the foundation.
