Any substitute for Bm on guitar?

Question

Just too hard yet!

Answer 1

Here is a simple B-minor fingering until you get it right.

-2nd fret / 5th string

-2nd fret / 3rd tring

-3rd fret / 2nd string

all the other strings are muted. This is a 3-note chord but will sound good.

Answer 2

Depending on the context of where the chord occurs in the song, you may be able to get away with substituting either a D or a G.  Here's why:

B minor chord = B D F#

D major chord = D F# A

G major chord = G B D

Notice that there's only 1 note different between the B minor and the D major chords (Bm has a B whereas D major has an A, but they both have a D and and F#), and there's also only 1 note different between the B minor and the G (Bm has an F# whereas G major has a G, but they both have a B and a D).

So if you're playing a B minor chord over a bit of melody that's mostly D and F# notes, you can substitute a D major instead.  If you're playing the B minor chord over a melody thats mostly B and D notes, the G will work as a substitute.
