I can see that there are some very difficult, finger-breaking, widow-making, chords listed too...I think  I've got a long road ahead of me!

To be fair, the BIG in @bigjon should probably be capitalised! He's a very tall chap, with very long fingers. Folks like him and "Ol' Face-hugger Hands" @Bucket are at an unfair advantage when it comes to stretchy voicings, but there are plenty of other ones for the rest of us to use, and there's always a lot of "boring" notes in chords one can miss out an imply by only playing the important ones!  With my apologies to Yngwie, here, "Less Is More" kinda works.

Thanks Matt... that's a lovely and very handy D7 ( x 9 10 9 10 x), and as a chord shape in itself it's great that it's movable up and down the entire neck... I'm learning a lot!

Sorry to be a pedant but that's a D9 (2nd inversion to be precise). The equivalent D7 would be x 9 10 11 10 x.

Well spotted Modellista, you found the deliberate mistake... ha ha ha! Thanks for pointing that out...

It could be (though 1st inversion), so long as there was a D in the bass or other instrument - ie, it sat within a D chord. But in and as of itself, with no D present, x 9 10 9 10 x is an F#m7b5.

JGuitar's chord namer offers four options for x 9 10 9 10 x

F# Minor 7th Flat 5th

C/F# 6th Flat 5th

E/F# Suspended 2nd Suspended 4th Sharp 5th

A/F# Minor 6th

Interesting, not D9, because it has no root in it.
