We refer to these chords as the ‘Em7 shape’ and ‘Am7 shape’ because these are the chord shapes these barre chords are based on.
Here, we’re still barring the chord, but we’re not having to barre all six strings. This is slightly easier as you don’t have to reach over to any other notes on the fret board.

The principle here is the same ie. we’ve simplified the ‘Em7 shaped barre chord’, but kept the lowest note in and left out the highest.
If you find this chord difficult, try and think of it as a D shape on the 8th fret with an extra note added on the 8th fret of the A string. (5th string.)
Just remember that you’re putting this D shape together using your 2nd, 3rd and 4th fingers rather than your 1st, 2nd and 3rd fingers.

The non-barred versions of the Fm7 guitar chord are easier to play, but you will likely find that if the song you’re learning has an Fm7 guitar chord in it then the other chords are going to be chords such as Ab, Db, Eb, Bb and so on. These chords are usuaully played as barre chords.
For this reason, you must learn the Fm7 barre chord. Although barre chords are tough, once you can play them, changing one barre chord to the other can be a lot easier than changing between non-barre chords.

Fm7 Chord For Guitar: Diagrams And Theory
*Whisper* I’ve even heard stories that when someone touched it, they got a paper cut! Hmmpf, maybe that was actually just the paper.
Anyway, today I’ll be going over how to play an F sharp minor 7 chord on guitar so that you can ace that chord progression you are trying to learn!
Because there isn’t any F sharp minor 7 open shape that any sane person uses, we’ll have to configure our own… And the best way to do that is through using bar chords.
How To Play Minor 7th Chords On Guitar
Notice how the open E string note is our bass note in this chord, right? So if we shifted this chord shape up two frets so that
To do this, you’ll want to place the underside edge of your index finger across the 2nd fret, and press down so that each string rings out clearly.
But HELLLLLLLLLLL no. That just ain’t gonna happen. And even I, as the best guitarist of all time, find that chord practically impossible to play.

So choose whichever one you like the sound and feel of the most. And remember, this is a safe place. I will neither judge you nor ridicule you for your choice…
Unless you somehow misread the labels in your cupboard and put sugar in your tea, just to taste it and realize that it was actually salt. Tee-hee, that’d be funny…

So using that logic, if we moved this shape up to fret 7 and used the B note there as our E string bass note instead, we’d get a B minor 7 chord!
But in order to know which new variant of each chord you are making, you kinda need to know the notes on the E string.
Jazz Guitar Chord Voicings
I also really recommend learning the notes on the A string whilst you’re at it. This’ll help you massively with the second minor 7 shape.
And that’s fine, until you start having to make hella gigantic leaps from the 9th fret to the 2nd fret when changing from C#m7 to F#m7… Boy! I’m wincing just thinking about it…
Then slide this shape up 9 frets until your 3rd finger is chilling right next to the 12th fret double dots, and rest down your index finger across the 9th fret.

And since our bass notes for this shape are on the A string, we can skip out the low E string when
