An easier G7♯9♯11
The full shape is a barre chord, hard at first. This one needs no full barre and sounds much the same: your middle finger on the low E string at the 3rd fret, your little finger on the A string at the 4th fret, your ring finger on the G string at the 3rd fret and your index finger on the high E string at the 1st fret. Let the D and B strings ring open.
