How to play F13♭9 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 middle finger on the G string at the 2nd fret, your little finger on the B string at the 3rd fret and your ring finger on the high E string at the 2nd fret. Don’t play the A string.
From the low E string 1 x 1 2 3 2 (x: not played, 0: open)
An easier F13♭9
The full shape is a barre chord, hard at first. This one needs no full barre and sounds much the same: your undefined finger on the low E string at the 1st fret, your index finger on the D string at the 1st 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 ring finger on the high E string at the 2nd fret. Let the A string ring open.
