How to play A6/9 on guitar
The most common way, the first shape above: lay your index finger flat across the three strings from the A to the G at the 4th fret, your middle finger on the low E string at the 5th fret, your ring finger on the B string at the 5th fret and your little finger on the high E string at the 5th fret.
From the low E string 5 4 4 4 5 5 (x: not played, 0: open)
An easier A6/9
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 4th fret and your ring finger on the G string at the 6th fret. Let the A, B and high E strings ring open. Don’t play the low E string.
