I guess I dont know what you mean. I cant make it any more simple. It doesnt matter where you are on the guitar.... The first position ALWAYS starts at the root note on the 6th string.

Em first position can be open or or 12th fret. Both are E notes on the 6th string. A Gm woud be the 3rd fret or the 15th fret since they are both ROOT NOTES (G's) on the lowest string.

I cant really explain it any clearer.

So again this picture is explaining it for Am.
