How to play A6/9♯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 4th fret, your middle finger on the low E string at the 5th fret and your ring finger on the high E string at the 5th fret.
From the low E string 5 4 4 4 4 5 (x: not played, 0: open)
An easier A6/9♯11
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 A string at the 2nd fret, your index finger on the D string at the 1st fret, your ring finger on the G string at the 2nd fret, your ring finger on the B string at the 2nd fret and your ring finger on the high E string at the 2nd fret. Let the low E string ring open.
