I love simplicity. I also love the Bm chord. With one finger, bar strings 1, 2 3 at fret 7. Now you have your Bm! (b, f# d) Allow the 4th string (d) to drone, giving an “additional” d. This will enriched the chord. You’ll like having that 4th string “d” drone because this approach sacrifices the heavy bass b (fret2 heavy a string)

Now, practice songs involving the Bm chord. When the chord changes become reasonably fluid, you can, at your leisure, “go down to the basement” and start kissing notes of the Bm you’re struggling with.

Do not feel obligated to play the full-blown Bm chord. Often, just a note or two works just fine. You can play the chord more “note by note” and it will sound nice if the rhythm (melody) isn’t broken!

Eventually, you’ll have control of the coveted Bm chord!
