How to play Dmaj7♯11 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 2nd fret, your little finger on the A string at the 5th fret, your middle finger on the D string at the 4th fret and your ring finger on the high E string at the 4th fret. Don’t play the low E string.

An easier Dmaj7♯11
The full shape is a barre chord, hard at first. This one needs no full barre and sounds much the same: your index finger on the G string at the 1st fret, your middle finger on the B string at the 2nd fret and your ring 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.
