Tips for playing D♯7♯9 on ukulele
On ukulele the usual D♯7♯9 shape is 0121, using three fingers. It leaves out the root, which a bass player (or your ear) fills in.
Notice the F𝄪 in D♯7♯9 (D♯ F𝄪 A♯ C♯ E𝄪): each note of the chord takes its own letter (D–F–A–C–E), so the major 3rd has to be written F𝄪 rather than G — the same key on a piano, spelled to fit the chord.
