How to play B♭m13 on guitar
The most common way, the first shape above: lay your index finger flat across the three strings from the A to the G at the 1st fret, your ring finger on the D string at the 3rd fret, your middle finger on the B string at the 2nd fret and your little finger on the high E string at the 3rd fret. Don’t play the low E string.

An easier B♭m13
The full shape is a barre chord, hard at first. This one needs no full barre and sounds much the same: your index finger on the A string at the 1st fret, your middle finger on the D string at the 1st fret, your ring finger on the B string at the 2nd fret and your little finger on the high E string at the 4th fret. Let the G string ring open. Don’t play the low E string.
