What is the easiest fingering for a beginner on this one. For now I'm looking for a non-barre if possible.

Thanks.

Index finger on the 1st string at the 1st fret
Pinky on the 2nd string at the 3rd fret
Ring finger on the 3rd string at the 3rd fret
Middle finger on the 4th string at the 3rd fret

Best,

I'd just take the A chord and move it up to the 3rd fret, and just play the DGB strings.

Move a four string F chord up to the 6th fret, or move the three highest strings of a D chord to the 11th fret.

What Taso said. Some options:

Bb [x x 3 3 3 x] or [x x 0 3 3 1]
Bbmaj7 [x 0 3 3 3 x] or [x 0 0 3 3 1]
Bb6 [x x 3 3 3 3]

etc etc

Also "mini-barres":
Bb7 [ x x 3 3 3 4 ]
Bb9 [ x 3 3 3 3 4 ]
Bbmaj7 [ x x 3 3 3 5 ] or [x 0 3 3 3 5 ]
Bbmaj9 [x 3 3 3 3 5 ]
Also, if the difficulty you're having with barre chords is getting a clean sound on the first string ,
(a common problem), you can just leave it out or let it mute..as follows:
Bb [ 1 1 3 3 3 x]
