How to play B♭sus♯4 on guitar
The most common way, the first shape above: your index finger on the low E string at the 6th fret, your ring finger on the A string at the 8th fret, your ring finger on the D string at the 8th fret and your little finger on the G string at the 9th fret. Don’t play the B and high E strings.

An easier B♭sus♯4
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 3rd fret, your middle finger on the G string at the 3rd fret and your ring finger on the B string at the 5th fret. Let the high E string ring open. Don’t play the low E and A strings.
