An easier G♯m7♭5♭9
The full shape is a barre chord, hard at first. This one needs no full barre and sounds much the same: your ring finger on the low E string at the 4th fret, your index finger on the G string at the 2nd fret and your middle finger on the high E string at the 2nd fret. Let the A, D and B strings ring open.
