Question: What is the EASIEST way to do a "correct" Gm chord on a guitar!?!?
I just can't contort my hand/fingers the way that's required (for the one I know)!. If it makes any difference, the particular to/from chord changes I'm doing are Dm to Gm to Am!.

I know there must be a million ways to construct it (a G, a B flat, and a D), but are there ways that are "more correct" than others for whatever reason!? I just need the one that's physically the easiest to do!. :)Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Barre at the 3rd fret and play an Em chord shape!. Then, for the A minor, you can just slide the whole hand up 2 frets without changing finger positions!.

For the D minor, I would barre at the 5th fret and play an Am chord shape!. Strum or pick only the top (EBGDA) 5 strings!. The low E string can be picked alternately as part of a bass line!.

One finger (the ring) across the first 3 strings, E,B,G at the third fret!. That gives you a Bflat, D & G!.
also, it's movable!. The chord is a minor named by the note on the E!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

The barre chord is pretty easy:
