How to play Gmaj9♯5 on guitar
The most common way, the first shape above: your middle finger on the low E string at the 3rd fret, your index finger on the A string at the 2nd fret, your ring finger on the D string at the 4th fret, your ring finger on the G string at the 4th fret, your ring finger on the B string at the 4th fret and your little finger on the high E string at the 5th fret.

An easier Gmaj9♯5
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 low E string at the 3rd fret, your index finger on the D string at the 1st fret and your middle finger on the high E string at the 2nd fret. Let the A, G and B strings ring open.
