How to play E♭7♯11 on guitar
The most common way, the first shape above: lay your index finger flat across the five strings from the A to the high E at the 6th fret, your middle finger on the D string at the 7th fret and your ring finger on the B string at the 8th fret. Don’t play the low E string.
From the low E string x 6 7 6 8 6 (x: not played, 0: open)
An easier E♭7♯11
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 1st fret, your middle finger on the G string at the 2nd 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. Don’t play the low E and A strings.
