guitar chord
D♯m7
Minor triad with a minor seventh. The same four notes as a major sixth chord a third above.
Written the other way round it is E♭m7 — the same twelve keys on a piano, a different piece of notation.

What is true of it
D♯m7 is D♯, F♯, A♯ and C♯ — 1, b3, 5 and b7 counted from D♯.
These are also the notes of F♯6/D♯ and G♭6/D♯. Which name is right depends on what is underneath and what came before — the notes alone do not decide.
On an instrument that cannot reach all 4, the 5 goes first, in that order.
The easiest of the 5 fingerings below is bdbbbb: 2 fingers, one of them barring the 11th fret, held at the 11th 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.
4 of the 5 need a barre.
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.
