Hey Elias! Indeed, this is a challenging chord for a beginner!

My suggestion would be to omit the note that's at the 11th fret of the 4th string (D string) and only pick the notes fretted on the top 3 strings. This should make it a little easier to get your fingers into the correct position.

[br]You could replace that first note of each phrase by picking the 9th fret of the G string instead. This will mean you will pick that note twice at the beginning of each phrase.

Make sense? Let. me know how it goes!

Any suggestions for an easier way for a beginner to fret the chord up the neck for the piano riff?

My first finger really isn't up to strength yet for the barring on the top 3 strings on the 9th fret.

Thanks
