Alternate fingering for F

I really love the below Bb variation, it has a great effect in the right places. Anyone got a por arriba F variation with similar feel?

I don’t know what the proper name is for that chord - Bb #6 11?

I know for F you could play the same chord more or less as:

7
8
8
7
8
8

Half bar at the 7th with index and Bar the bass E and A strings with your middle. I’ve heard Vicente use this shape but in c# phy.

Chord is Bb9#11. The F chord version is as Jason showed transposed from 0 to 7th position. All other versions such as Sr Martin will be different voicing or missing notes (his is missing the 5th) Here are some options:

3
1
2
1
2 (#11 in low position)
1

You can experiment... sometimes changing between above voicing will give the impression of the full chord by toggling an important two notes back and forth (such as 3rd and 9th, or 5th and #11, or 3rd and #11). Here is example jumping with pinky( making chord go F9-F7#11(no3rd)-F9 etc):

3–1–3
1–1–1
2–4–2
1–1–1
3–3–3
1–1–1–etc
