I doubt this is what you want to do.  You  are putting notes in parallel
contexts (different voices) rather than in chords.

It's much more likely that you want

 Guitar = \relative c'
   {
      < e1 g d' g >
      < e g d' fis >
      < ees g des' fis >
      < ees g des' f >2 < ees g des' e >
   }

HTH,
