I do several shapes. Basic one is Am slid up, root B on the 5th string and only play the middle four strings (I do mostly pick or thumb and three fingers, so four string chords is my normal). If you play the B on the 5th string with your index finger a barre to pick up the high F# is extremely easy. Obviously the Em barre chord shape on the 7th fret. I very often substitute m7 for minor chords.
