guitar chord
D♯add9
A major triad with a ninth added and no seventh — which is what tells it apart from a ninth chord.
Written the other way round it is E♭add9 — the same twelve keys on a piano, a different piece of notation.

What is true of it
D♯add9 is D♯, F𝄪, A♯ and E♯ — 1, 3, 5 and 9 counted from D♯.
F𝄪 is a double sharp, and it has to be: every letter from D♯ upwards is used once, so the 3 cannot be written any other way.
On an instrument that cannot reach all 4, the 5 goes first, in that order.
The easiest of the 5 fingerings below is x63046: 4 fingers, held at the 3rd fret.
None of them uses an open string, so this chord moves up the neck unchanged — the same shape 1 fret higher is the chord a semitone above.
1 string stays silent.
Where its notes are on the neck
The brass dots are D♯, the root. Everything else is a chord tone with its degree printed in it.

An inversion is the same chord with a different note lowest. The name changes to a slash name because the bass is what a listener hears as the foundation.
