How to play F11 on guitar
The most common way, the first shape above: lay your index finger flat across the three strings from the low E to the D at the 1st fret, your middle finger on the B string at the 1st fret and your ring finger on the high E string at the 1st fret. Let the G string ring open.

An easier F11
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 D string at the 3rd fret, your middle finger on the G string at the 3rd fret, your little finger on the B string at the 4th fret and your ring finger on the high E string at the 3rd fret. Don’t play the low E and A strings.
