How to play D13♯9 on guitar
The most common way, the first shape above: your ring finger on the low E string at the 10th fret, your middle finger on the A string at the 9th fret, your middle finger on the D string at the 9th fret, your little finger on the G string at the 10th fret, your little finger on the B string at the 10th fret and your index finger on the high E string at the 8th fret.
From the low E string 10 9 9 10 10 8 (x: not played, 0: open)
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 ring finger on the A string at the 5th fret, your middle finger on the D string at the 3rd fret, your little finger on the G string at the 5th fret and your index finger on the high E string at the 2nd fret. Let the B string ring open. Don’t play the low E string.
