Roxyman 70,
All chords are the same relative to there own key. If you start a song
in Am and follow with Dm and E7, it's no different than starting the
song in F#m and play Bm and C#7. (I should qualify that by adding some
people feel certain keys have subtle differences in character, but
that's not too relevant here) When you say first position, are you
referring to the top of the neck and playing mostly open chords? (Open
chords have some strings not being fretted). Where you play the chord
on the guitar is a matter of preference, but as a player you should
learn most major and minor chord positions up to the 12th fret. You
mention Fm, if you can play Fm, you can play that chord as a movable
(also called bar or barre) chord all the way up the neck-change one
finger and its a major, add your pinkie and it's a dominant 7th.
You came to the right place and I'm sure plenty of people would like to
help you, but try to clarify what it is you're asking.
