How to play D9sus4 on guitar
The most common way, the first shape above: lay your index finger flat across the five strings from the A to the high E at the 5th fret. Don’t play the low E string.
From the low E string x 5 5 5 5 5 (x: not played, 0: open)
An easier D9sus4
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 B string at the 1st fret. Let the D, G and high E strings ring open. Don’t play the low E and A strings.
