4._3L > F#
5._3 > D
6._3 > B
7._3 > A
8._3L > F#

B note on the 6th string is your root and a whole tone under it being the A tone is your 7th and the D tone is your minor 3rd of B.

If you have a lever that lowers your 9th string (D) 1/2 tone, you can also get it on the 10th fret playing strings 9,8,6 and 5.

Pat,
You can even add to the good example Ricky Davis gave you. In addition to the strings he mentions, 4 thru 8, you can even play strings 1 thru 3 with them on fret 3, as they are also in a Bm7.
3 = B
2 = F#
1 = A
In effect, you can "strum" if you care to do so, an 8 string Bm7 right there on the 3rd fret, with only one lever engaged.

Typically I would play Bm7 the way b0b suggests, because it sounds good to me, and from there it's an easy transition to chords that might come next, like Bm6 or E7.

On the 5th fret with pedals A & B engaged play strings 4, 5, 6, 7. Notes are B, D, F#, A.

To go to a Bm6 from there simply engage your lever that lowers the E strings a 1/2 note.

To go to an E7 from the Bm7, again engage the lever that lowers your E's a 1/2 step and disengage the "A" pedal, but leave the "B' pedal engaged.

If your next chord is going to be a "G" then maybe the Bm7 on the 3rd fret makes the most sense.

(sorry for all the corrections to my post, I must be tired.
