How to play G9♯5 on guitar
The most common way, the first shape above: lay your index finger flat across the three strings from the A to the G at the 2nd fret, your middle finger on the low E string at the 3rd fret, your ring finger on the D string at the 3rd fret and your little finger on the B string at the 4th fret. Don’t play the high E string.
From the low E string 3 2 3 2 4 x (x: not played, 0: open)
An easier G9♯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 1st fret. Let the A, G and B strings ring open.
