An easier Fm(maj11)
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 D string at the 3rd fret, your middle finger on the G string at the 3rd fret, your little finger on the B string at the 5th fret and your ring finger on the high E string at the 4th fret. Don’t play the low E and A strings.
