If you want an Am you just need to find a (A, C, E).
Here is a fun shape to play with (Am inversion):
e--(??)-- ?
B---10--- a
G---9---- e
D---10--- c
A---x---- x
E---x---- x
(??) - You have some choices on the high e string. I like shapes where I can hammer on and off other notes without changing the chord. Try playing the high e string at:
0 e
8 c
12 e
mute x
You can also play the A string at 12 to keep the A as the bass note.
