I'm sure the op is more concerned about learning the shape and not the fact that it's an F when played on the first fret. If you capo the first then the chord becomes F# anyway unless you down tune to Eb. Which reminds me that down tuning the guitar is another option to ease up tension and make it easier to learn the barre major shape.
