How to play B♭13♯9 on guitar
The most common way, the first shape above: your ring finger on the low E string at the 6th fret, your middle finger on the A string at the 5th fret, your middle finger on the D string at the 5th fret, your little finger on the G string at the 6th fret, your little finger on the B string at the 6th fret and your index finger on the high E string at the 4th fret.
From the low E string 6 5 5 6 6 4 (x: not played, 0: open)
An easier B♭13♯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 A 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 3rd fret. Let the D string ring open. Don’t play the low E string.
