How to play C7♭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 6th fret, your ring finger on the low E string at the 8th fret, your middle finger on the A string at the 7th fret and your little finger on the B string at the 8th fret.

An easier C7♭9♭13
The full shape is a barre chord, hard at first. This one needs no full barre and sounds much the same: your undefined finger on the low E string at the 3rd fret, your index finger on the A string at the 4th fret, your ring finger on the D string at the 6th fret, your middle finger on the G string at the 5th fret, your middle finger on the B string at the 5th fret and your little finger on the high E string at the 6th fret.
