How to play Bm6 on guitar

The most common way, the first shape above: your middle finger on the A string at the 2nd fret, your index finger on the G string at the 1st fret and your ring finger on the high E string at the 2nd fret. Let the D and B strings ring open. Don’t play the low E string.

From the low E string x 2 0 1 0 2 (x: not played, 0: open)
