An easier Amaj13♯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 D string at the 1st fret, your middle finger on the G string at the 1st fret, your ring finger on the B string at the 2nd fret and your little finger on the high E string at the 2nd fret. Let the A string ring open. Don’t play the low E string.
