Cm: x3101x
I don't barre it, I don't really have trouble with barres. You can barre Cm in the first position, but I want that open G string.
Anyway -- I told someone of my hatred for the chord and they suggested some alternatives:
024030
004030
Um, Em9 and Em11 aren't replacements for Cm . . .

KP is correct.
try X3504X (or X3X04X or X35X4X, if there's too much 5th in the first)
-=tension & release=-
Honestly,
Just practice playing the thing . . it's not the hardest chord you'll ever have to play in your life!
Learn to grab it with precission and you'll be one more step down the long road of musicianship.
