there is no F8, because there are only 7 degrees in the major scale, so buddy, you made that chord up yourself. What it really is, is an F5, and essentially you can play that either on the E string (root on E) on the 1st fret, if you want a real deep voicing, or you can go to the 8th fret on the A string. but let me just say, dont ever say that its an F8 because its on the 8th fret, the number has a totally different meaning.
