I can't play the B minor chord very well, so I was wondering if there were any other simpler chords I could use as a replacement that sound similar.
Answer
You have to face your fears...don't back down in the face of B Minor;)
OK, now that I've done the dramatic entrance thing let's talk about note selection.
The B minor chord contains all the notes in the D major scale, so I suppose that you could sub a D chord in, but it would actually be a B min7 without the root note.
Another poster mentioned that you can play it as a bar chord at the 7th fret, and that works well. And when all else fails, you could just play a B5 (also known as a power chord). Power chords don't have the 3rd, so they're not major or minor.
But, Bmin isn't going to go away. You might as well learn it sometime!
Good luck.
