How to play D♭maj9♯11 on guitar
The most common way, the first shape above: lay your index finger flat across the four strings from the D to the high E at the 3rd fret, your middle finger on the A string at the 4th fret, your little finger on the G string at the 5th fret and your ring finger on the B string at the 4th fret. Don’t play the low E string.

An easier D♭maj9♯11
The full shape is a barre chord, hard at first. This one needs no full barre and sounds much the same: your little finger on the A string at the 4th fret, your index finger on the D string at the 1st fret, your middle finger on the B string at the 1st fret and your middle finger on the high E string at the 1st fret. Let the G string ring open. Don’t play the low E string.
