How to play Dm(maj9) on guitar
The most common way, the first shape above: your middle finger on the A string at the 5th fret, your index finger on the D string at the 3rd fret, your little finger on the G string at the 6th fret, your ring finger on the B string at the 5th fret and your ring finger on the high E string at the 5th fret. Don’t play the low E string.
From the low E string x 5 3 6 5 5 (x: not played, 0: open)
An easier Dm(maj9)
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 A string at the 5th fret, your middle finger on the G string at the 6th fret and your ring finger on the B string at the 6th fret. Let the D and high E strings ring open. Don’t play the low E string.
