2 · Easier Bm · attunr

While the barre is coming along, there are easier chords that do Bm's job. Bm7 adds one note (A) and lets two strings ring open, so no barre at all. B7 is the open chord you already used in stage 1. And the small Bm on the top four strings is the real Bm in miniature, with no barre either.

Use whichever sounds right in the song. Bm7 is softer, B7 pulls harder towards Em, the small Bm is the real Bm in miniature.

Bm7

Bm7 and B7: no barre needed.

Try this

Play Em Am Bm7 Em, then Em Am B7 Em, then with the small Bm. Which one sounds best to you?
