what are some other names and fingers for these chords, because my hand can't stretch far enough to make those. i'm playing for my school's varity show, and yeah i just wanted to switch the chords because it's difficult for me. so what are some chords that would sound like those? easier fingerings?

You can play Bm with the top E string open (this is Bm+9 but you can get away with it in a lot of songs. Just slide your Am shape up two frets. F#m can be played using a Dm shape slid up to the 5th fret but you'll have to use your little finger on the seventh fret of the D string if you want to use the top four strings. As for Gm you can barre the top three strings and use yur little finger to give you a G bass note on the D string.

Bm . . .1st finger barr on 2nd fret, 2nd finger 2string 3rd fret, 3rd finger 4string 4th fret, 4th finger 3string 4th fret and strum 5th string down.

Bm . . . 1st finger barr on 7th fret, 3rd finger 5string 9th fret,4th finger 4string 9th fret. play all 6 strings

Bm . . . 1st finger barr 123&4 strings 9th fret, 2nd finger 1string 10th fret, 3rd finger 3string 11th fret, 4th finger 2string 12th fret

Play them as barre cords. Very easy!
