A. This is a way they write chords in jazz. Jazz uses notes that aren't in the chord. It means play a D triad in the left hand (D, F#, A) and a C triad in the right hand (C, E, G). This adds up to a D9/11, which is to say, a D chord with an 11, a 9, and a flat 7. They write it D/C because some find it easier to think of it as two simple chords than to think of it as one complicated chord. To make it easier you could play a D7 with your left hand, (D, F#, A, C). Usually when you see these compound chords (as they're called) you can just play the chord on the left, in this case the D.
Good luck!

Original Question

What does it mean when a Guitar/Piano chord has a number after it? e.g A2 D5 (i don't mean Aadd5, i know that)?
Q. e.g A2 D5 (i don't mean Aadd5, i know about that)

A. Hmm. Interesting question.

Well, you could be referring to a single note, and the octave. C4 is middle C, for example. If not, then you may have incorrectly voiced the question. Most chords use the 1st, 3rd and 5th degrees of the scale, so "A5" or "add5" don't exist. But if it's "C7" that means add the 7th degree, "D9" means the 7th and the 9th, etc. etc.

The number after the chord tells you which degree of the scale to add to the chord. However, if it is a number and only a number, it means add that note and the one(s) before it. So D11 means add the 7th, the 9th and the 11th.

I've probably got this all wrong, but hopefully I've helped.
