suggest and use the typed voicings shown below:

Chord names and fret positions are relative to the capo:

D = 000000 B = 000000 Aadd11 = 040300 G2/D = 020100

D5 = 000300 C6sus2 = 030300 Bm13/D = 020200 Gmadd9/D = 010100

Bm9 = 440300 F6 = 330300 Em11 = 220100 G2 = 550500

Gmadd9 = 550400 A7sus/D = 002100 A4 = 770700

As so often happens, getting the right chord name in an alternate tuning

is difficult, made more difficult by some names not being acceptable to

this site.

Those names are incomprehensible to me, so I couldn't learn this until I

replaced all the chord names with a code I invented after memorizing all

the voicings. Here's the code I used, if it helps:

I-0 for D

I-1 for B

I-2 for Aadd11

I-3 for G2/D

I-4 for D5

I-5 for C6sus2

I-6 for Bm13/D

I-7 for Gmadd9/D

4 for Bm9

3 for F6

2 for Em11

5 for G2

5m for Gmadd9

0 for A7sus/D

7 for A4

In this, the letter "I" stands for "Intro", and the codes that are just

numbers name the fret on which the 6th and 5th strings are played. It

helped me to play those using an "E" shape formation all the way down the

neck, sometimes using the pinky to avoid switching fingers (e.g., for

codes 4, 3, 2, 5 and 5m).

NOTE: For the B chord, quickly strum all strings as a harmonic at the 12th

fret (relative to the capo).
