How to play G♯m(add9) on guitar
The most common way, the first shape above: lay your index finger flat across the five strings from the low E to the B at the 4th fret, your ring finger on the A string at the 6th fret, your ring finger on the D string at the 6th fret and your little finger on the high E string at the 6th fret.

An easier G♯m(add9)
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 D string at the 6th fret, your index finger on the G string at the 4th fret and your little finger on the high E string at the 6th fret. Let the B string ring open. Don’t play the low E and A strings.
