How to play F13 on guitar
The most common way, the first shape above: lay your index finger flat across the three strings from the low E to the D at the 1st fret, your ring finger on the A string at the 3rd fret, your middle finger on the G string at the 2nd fret, your little finger on the B string at the 3rd fret and your little finger on the high E string at the 3rd fret.
From the low E string 1 3 1 2 3 3 (x: not played, 0: open)
An easier F13
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 low E string at the 1st fret, your middle finger on the D string at the 1st fret, your little finger on the B string at the 3rd fret and your ring finger on the high E string at the 1st fret. Let the A and G strings ring open.
