How to play Dadd♭13 on guitar
The most common way, the first shape above: lay your index finger flat across the two strings from the G to the B at the 3rd fret, your ring finger on the A string at the 5th fret, your middle finger on the D string at the 4th fret and your little finger on the high E string at the 5th fret. Don’t play the low E string.

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