How to play Fadd11 on guitar
The most common way, the first shape above: your little finger on the A string at the 8th fret, your ring finger on the D string at the 7th fret, your index finger on the G string at the 5th fret, your middle finger on the B string at the 6th fret and your middle finger on the high E string at the 6th fret. Don’t play the low E string.

An easier Fadd11
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 3rd fret, your middle finger on the G string at the 3rd fret, your little finger on the B string at the 6th fret and your ring finger on the high E string at the 5th fret. Don’t play the low E and A strings.
