How to play B7♭13 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 2nd fret, your ring finger on the D string at the 4th fret, your little finger on the B string at the 4th fret and your middle finger on the high E string at the 3rd fret. Don’t play the low E string.
From the low E string x 2 4 2 4 3 (x: not played, 0: open)
An easier B7♭13
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 low E string at the 2nd fret, your index finger on the D string at the 1st fret and your ring finger on the high E string at the 2nd fret. Let the A, G and B strings ring open.
