An easier F♯m7
The full shape is a barre chord, hard at first. This one needs no full barre and sounds much the same: your index finger on the low E string at the 2nd fret, your middle finger on the D string at the 2nd fret, your middle finger on the G string at the 2nd fret and your middle finger on the B string at the 2nd fret. Let the A and high E strings ring open.
