How to play D7♭13 on guitar
The most common way, the first shape above: lay your index finger flat across the three strings from the A to the G at the 5th fret, your ring finger on the D string at the 7th fret, your little finger on the B string at the 7th fret and your middle finger on the high E string at the 6th fret. Don’t play the low E string.

An easier D7♭13
The full shape is a barre chord, hard at first. This one needs no full barre and sounds much the same: your ring finger on the G string at the 3rd fret, your index finger on the B string at the 1st fret and your middle finger on the high E string at the 2nd fret. Let the D string ring open. Don’t play the low E and A strings.
