How to play Gm9 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 3rd fret, your ring finger on the A string at the 5th fret and your little finger on the high E string at the 5th fret.

An easier Gm9
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 low E string at the 3rd fret, your middle finger on the D string at the 3rd fret, your middle finger on the G string at the 3rd fret, your middle finger on the B string at the 3rd fret and your middle finger on the high E string at the 3rd fret. Let the A string ring open.
