k is this the chord Thom is playing?

[mycdplayerisbroke]

so i'm playing Fake Plastic Trees and one of the chords is:

 

Dmaj9/F# 2 X 0 2 2 0

 

but every time i see Thom playing this chord it doesnt look like it's right, and plus he uses his middle finger to play the F# on the low E string, but that just seems wrong to me. so what im asking is what are the finger positions for that chord?

(sorry for the small pic)

[Gas_Man]

what part of the song is it? :)

[mycdplayerisbroke]

oh sorry

 

A

Her green plastic watering can

Dmaj9/F#

For her fake chinese rubber plant

[Octakon]

Hm.. I play it the same way you do (but I call the chord A/F#) using my thumb on the low E-string.

[Skinned Alive]

Yeah, Dmaj9/F# is correct.

 

A/F# would be 2x2220

 

As for its fingering...

 

Use your little finger on the B string, your next finger on the G string, and your middle finger on the bottom E string.

Actually, the way I play it, it's a 2x0230, and it sounds fine to me.

Mmm not quite...

Dmaj9/F# is correct, but I dont think Thom lets the D string ring... sounds muted... because in actuality the chord is supposed to sound like an F#m, and if you let the D string ring throughout that chord, it will sound too much like a D, and won't create the same feel

[mycdplayerisbroke]

we all like it a little different, however, i think it sounds "empty" without the D string.
