Tips for playing D♯m9 on ukulele
On ukulele the usual D♯m9 shape is 3524, using four fingers. It leaves out the root, which a bass player (or your ear) fills in.
Notice the E♯ in D♯m9 (D♯ F♯ A♯ C♯ E♯): each note of the chord takes its own letter (D–F–A–C–E), so the major 9th has to be written E♯ rather than F — the same key on a piano, spelled to fit the chord.
