How to play F♯7♯11 on guitar
The most common way, the first shape above: lay your index finger flat across the six strings at the 2nd fret, your middle finger on the A string at the 3rd fret and your ring finger on the G string at the 3rd fret.
From the low E string 2 3 2 3 2 2 (x: not played, 0: open)
An easier F♯7♯11
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 D string at the 4th fret, your ring finger on the G string at the 3rd fret and your index finger on the B string at the 1st fret. Let the high E string ring open. Don’t play the low E and A strings.
