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 is a D9/6 guitar chord?
Q. I'm just beginning to play the guitar and I don't know how to play a D9/6 chord. Does someone know where I could get a picture of the frets and stuff for this chord or can someone describe it to me? That'd be great, thanks.

A. I think you mean a D9add6 chord. A Ninth chord is a chord with the major triad as well as a flat 7. On the piano, sometimes its just played as a third, 7th, and 9th. So a D9 on a piano would be the F#, C, and E. You add the 6th to get the D9add6, which would be the F#, B, C, and E.

See the link below for a chord chart for guitar.

Original Question

e a a# d does anyone know the name of this chord? the d is after the octave(13th)?
Q. the chord is moveable, and played on piano. thanks.

A. It would help to know the context, such as the key, the chord before and after. is this from jazz, classical or modern music?
Is it possible any of these notes are non-chord tones, and that there are other notes that are chord tones?

in tonal music we don't usually have chords with two notes of the same name. but If we do in fact have the notes you stated then respell the a# as Bb then I'd call this D9 flat 13 with omitted third. this is unlikely unless we're talking about jazz, and even then you usually have a third in the chord.
If E is the root then we'd have a quartal seventh chord.

but I tend to think a# respelled as Bb is the root,
so it's most likely: Bb Maj7 11

in pitch class set theory we'd call this chord [0278] but this kind of analysis isn't very useful outside of modern music.
