How to play Fm(add9) on guitar
The most common way, the first shape above: lay your index finger flat across the five strings from the low E to the B at the 1st fret, your ring finger on the A string at the 3rd fret, your ring finger on the D string at the 3rd fret and your little finger on the high E string at the 3rd fret.

An easier Fm(add9)
The full shape is a barre chord, hard at first. This one needs no full barre and sounds much the same: your ring finger on the D string at the 3rd fret, your index finger on the G string at the 1st fret, your middle finger on the B string at the 1st fret and your little finger on the high E string at the 3rd fret. Don’t play the low E and A strings.
