How to play C♯7♭9♭13 on guitar
The most common way, the first shape above: lay your index finger flat across the four strings from the D to the high E at the 7th fret, your ring finger on the low E string at the 9th fret, your middle finger on the A string at the 8th fret and your little finger on the B string at the 9th fret.
From the low E string 9 8 7 7 9 7 (x: not played, 0: open)
An easier C♯7♭9♭13
The full shape is a barre chord, hard at first. This one needs no full barre and sounds much the same: your little finger on the A string at the 4th fret, your middle finger on the G string at the 2nd fret and your index finger on the high E string at the 1st fret. Let the D and B strings ring open. Don’t play the low E string.
