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, F, G. This page shows how to play A m7#5 on Tenor Guitar with clear fretboard diagrams and suggested finger positions.

The C, G and A strings ring open in the lowest shape, with the remaining notes fretted at fret 3. The root is the A string itself. It sounds from C3 up to A4.

It has a flat wooden top, so the same grip sustains far longer than it does on a tenor banjo.
