The lowest shape sits at fret 1 and spans 4 frets, with no open strings in it. The E and A strings stay silent, so 4 of 6 sound. D# falls on the D string. It sounds from D#3 up to G4. 5 voicings are charted, the highest starting at fret 11.

It has nylon strings on a wider, flatter neck than a steel-string guitar, which is why it is played fingerstyle rather than with a pick.

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.
