Is F#m7 easy on guitar?
It is a barre chord at fret 2, so it takes a little more strength at first. Start slowly, check that every string rings, then practise switching to F#m.
What is the difference between F#m7 and F#m on guitar?
F#m7 adds one note to F#m: E, on top of F# A C#. From F#m to F#m7: 4th string (D): fret 4 → fret 2.
Which fingers do I use for F#m7?
Index finger: across the strings (barre), fret 2, ring finger: 5th string (A), fret 4.
Can I practise F#m7 with a microphone or MIDI keyboard?
Both work in ChordRunner. The microphone hears an acoustic or electric guitar; a USB MIDI keyboard is detected automatically. Either way F#, A, C#, E must sound together.
