How to play G♯m9 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 and your little finger on the high E string at the 6th fret.
From the low E string 4 6 4 4 4 6 (x: not played, 0: open)
An easier G♯m9
The full shape is a barre chord, hard at first. This one needs no full barre and sounds much the same: your little finger on the A string at the 6th fret, your middle finger on the D string at the 4th fret, your index finger on the G string at the 3rd fret and your ring finger on the high E string at the 4th fret. Let the B string ring open. Don’t play the low E string.
