D m7b9 Chord on Cello
Play D m7b9 on Cello: diagrams, finger positions, intervals, and every voicing up and down the neck for this instrument.
The D m7b9 chord is a m7b9 chord. It is built from the notes D, D#, F, A, C. This page shows how to play D m7b9 on Cello with clear fingerboard diagrams and suggested finger positions.
The C and D strings ring open in the lowest shape, with the remaining notes stopped in position 6 over a 5-position stretch. The root is the D string itself. It sounds from C2 up to D#4.
Cello is bowed, with a bare fingerboard and no fixed stops, so this is really a double-stop study: two strings at a time speak cleanly, and the full stack is rolled rather than sounded at once.
Browse alternate voicings to find the one that sits best under your fingers, then compare it with the other chord types built on D or explore the same shape in nearby keys. The diagrams list the notes in each voicing so you can connect the shape to the theory behind it.
