How to play G♭maj13 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 1st fret, your middle finger on the low E string at the 2nd fret and your ring finger on the B string at the 2nd fret.
From the low E string 2 1 1 1 2 1 (x: not played, 0: open)
An easier G♭maj13
The full shape is a barre chord, hard at first. This one needs no full barre and sounds much the same: your ring finger on the A string at the 4th fret, your middle finger on the D string at the 3rd fret, your middle finger on the G string at the 3rd fret, your little finger on the B string at the 4th fret and your index finger on the high E string at the 2nd fret. Don’t play the low E string.
