NOTE: Please IGNORE ANY POP-UP CHORD BOXES the website might
automatically suggest and use the typed shapes shown below:
C#m7 = x46600 or x46454 G = 320033 or 355433
D5 = x577xx E/A = x02100
E9sus4 = 077777 F#m = 244222

E = 022100 F#9sus4 = x99999
D = xx0232 or x57775
If you happen to hit all the strings of the D5 shape
it still sounds good even as a D6sus2 (x57700)
or you could just play a straight D.
