Chord Of The Week 10/5/14 - F#m

bigjon

There is an open-position F#m chord, but I don't think I've ever played it:

F#m: 204222 (thumb on 6th string)

It's the F#m7 chords, though, where the open E top string can act as the 7th, which work really well.

F#m7: 202220

What are your favourite F#m chords and extensions? Mine is this m7add11 version using open B and E strings- 

F#m7add11: 244200

As heard in the chorus of this Simple Minds "classic" at 1:20 -

I play F#m7add11 as 044200. Like your 244200, a great-sounding harmonically rich chord. Mine can be found on Fairport Convention's Who Knows Where The Time Goes where it's alternated with an E chord for the bulk of the song.
