How to play D13♭9 on guitar
The most common way, the first shape above: lay your index finger flat across the three strings from the D to the B at the 4th fret, your middle finger on the A string at the 5th fret, your ring finger on the G string at the 5th fret and your little finger on the high E string at the 7th fret. Don’t play the low E string.

An easier D13♭9
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 A string at the 6th fret, your index finger on the G string at the 5th fret, your ring finger on the B string at the 7th fret and your little finger on the high E string at the 7th fret. Let the D string ring open. Don’t play the low E string.
