Tips for playing D♭m(add9) on ukulele
On ukulele the usual D♭m(add9) shape is 1304, using three fingers.
Notice the F♭ in D♭m(add9) (D♭ F♭ A♭ E♭): each note of the chord takes its own letter (D–F–A–E), so the minor 3rd has to be written F♭ rather than E — the same key on a piano, spelled to fit the chord.
