How to play A♭6/9♯11 on guitar
The most common way, the first shape above: lay your index finger flat across the four strings from the A to the B at the 3rd fret, your middle finger on the low E string at the 4th fret and your ring finger on the high E string at the 4th fret.
From the low E string 4 3 3 3 3 4 (x: not played, 0: open)
An easier A♭6/9♯11
The full shape is a barre chord, hard at first. This one needs no full barre and sounds much the same: your index finger on the low E string at the 4th fret, your ring finger on the A string at the 6th fret, your middle finger on the G string at the 5th fret, your little finger on the B string at the 6th fret and your little finger on the high E string at the 6th fret. Let the D string ring open.
