%%%%
\version "2.20.0"

classicalGuitarA = \relative c' {
  \tuplet 3/2 {fis16 g fis} eis8 fis
}
classicalGuitarB = \relative c' {
  \override Beam.positions = #'(-1.25 . -1.25)
  \once \shiftOff
  d8 cis d
}
classicalGuitarC = \relative c {
  d4.
}

{
  \key d \major
  \time 3/8
  \clef "treble_8"
  \voices 1,4,2 <<
    \classicalGuitarA \\
    \classicalGuitarB \\
    \classicalGuitarC
  >>
}
%%%%

That's the closest I can get it to match.

NOTE: I am using a newer version of LilyPond that supports the \voices 
command.
