For guitar chords like Bm i've seen a picture of i think it was 5 dots on the frets and strings but how do you do that?

Basically how do you play chords like Bm that have five or more dots?

Hope you understand what I mean

Just starting out playing guitar, so a little confused
Your 1st finger (pointer) lays across all the strings and becomes the new nut (or end of the neck). Your 2nd, 3rd and 4th fingers do the rest.

cool. this helps sooooooooooo much!

To play a proper Bm, you need to learn what's known as "Bar Chords."

Your first finger (index) lays across all 6 strings at the second fret.

Your second finger (bird) plays the 2nd string at the 3rd fret.

(Note: by 2nd string, I mean when the guitar sits on your lap, theguitar chords 2nd string is closer to the floor than the 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th string...the 6th string would be closest to the ceiling...still with me? Haha)

Back to Bm...you 3rd finger (ring) holds the 4th string at the 4th fret.

Finally, your little finger (pinkie) plays the 3rd string at the 4th fret....so we have what looks like this....

2-2-4-4-3-2

Notice how this Bm looks a lot like another chord you may already know?

It looks like an Am chord, doesn't it?

If the 2nd fret bar is too difficult for you right now....hold the Am chord, and simply move it up two frets, magically creating a Bm chord, but be careful not to play the 5th and 6th strings, just concentrate on the first 4 strings.

this Bm chord would look like this....

X-X-0-4-4-3-0

Here's another way...

First finger, 1st string, 2nd fret
2nd finger, 2nd string, 3rd fret
3rd finger, 4th string, 4th fret
4th finger, 3rd string, 4th fret.

x-x-4-4-3-2

Here's a simple litguitar chordstle 3 note Bm chord....

1st finger, first string, 2nd fret
2nd finger, 2nd string, 3rd fret
3rd finger, 3rd string, 4th fret.

x-x-x-4-3-2

You can also play a simple 3 note Bm chord by playing a small bar at the 7th fret, using only your first finger to hold down all 3 strings.

x-x-x-x-7-7-7

Practice those first finger bar chords ( where your first finger holds down all 6 strings)...once you master this technique, a whole world of chords will open up to you.

Best of luck, and practice till those fingers bleed!
Simple....on the 2nd position:

Put index on 5th string/ 2nd fret
Put middle finger on 2nd string/ 3rd fret
Put ring finger on 4th string/ 4th fret
Put small finger on 3rd string /4th fret.

The index finger also bars the entire 2nd fret so that the 6th string / 2nd fret sounds at the same time with 5th string/ 2nd fret.
