A minor seventh with a ninth on top.

Written the other way round it is B♭m9 — the same twelve keys on a piano, a different piece of notation.

What is true of it

A♯m9 is A♯, C♯, E♯, G♯ and B♯ — 1, b3, 5, b7 and 9 counted from A♯.

On an instrument that cannot reach all 5, the 5 and 1 go first, in that order.

The easiest of the 2 fingerings below is 3044: 3 fingers, held at the 3rd fret.

None of them uses an open string, so this chord moves up the neck unchanged — the same shape 1 fret higher is the chord a semitone above.

It leaves out the 5. 4 strings cannot carry 5 notes, and the 5 is the one this chord can lose without changing what it is.

The brass dots are A♯, the root. Everything else is a chord tone with its degree printed in it.

An inversion is the same chord with a different note lowest. The name changes to a slash name because the bass is what a listener hears as the foundation.
