The A m7#5 chord is a minor seventh with a raised fifth, an altered, unstable color. It is built from the notes A, C, E#, G. This page shows how to play A m7#5 on Mandola with clear fretboard diagrams and suggested finger positions.
The shape nearest the nut leaves the C, G and A courses open and takes the rest at fret 3. The root is the A course itself. It sounds from C3 up to A4.
Mandola is strung in four courses of two, so each stopped note here sounds as two — which is why the shape rings thicker than the same grip on a single-strung instrument.
Browse alternate voicings to find the one that sits best under your fingers, then compare it with the other chord types built on A or explore the same shape in nearby keys. The diagrams list the notes in each voicing so you can connect the shape to the theory behind it.
