Or you can wrap your thumb over the neck and play 244200, a full-sounding F#m7add11 chord
.
As heard in Had Enough by Mr Big, or Mandela Day by Simple Minds, which I discussed in my chord--of-the-week thread on open-position F#m chords at
http://www.thefretboard.co.uk/discussion/15928/chord-of-the-week-10-5-14-f-m
then D becomes C, Em becomes Dm, G to F, etc
all easy peasy now

there is no rule that says you have to play all 6 strings
and therein lies a root to why so many people give up guitar in the first year
we should just teach them 3 and 4 string chords
Do consider having a lesson with someone who has good technique and make sure you aren't doing something counterproductive.

Some chords are easier to play thumb-over, some are easier with a full barre. You need to be able to play both ways. A couple of day’s practice will get you started with the Am and Em shapes. If it doesn’t then find someone to guide you about hand placement.
