How to play A7♭9♭13 on guitar
The most common way, the first shape above: lay your index finger flat across the four strings from the D to the high E at the 3rd fret, your ring finger on the low E string at the 5th fret, your middle finger on the A string at the 4th fret and your little finger on the B string at the 5th fret.
From the low E string 5 4 3 3 5 3 (x: not played, 0: open)
An easier A7♭9♭13
The full shape is a barre chord, hard at first. This one needs no full barre and sounds much the same: your middle finger on the D string at the 3rd fret, your ring finger on the G string at the 3rd fret, your index finger on the B string at the 2nd fret and your little finger on the high E string at the 3rd fret. Let the A string ring open. Don’t play the low E string.
