How to play D♭ on piano

The D♭ chord is D♭ F A♭: D♭ (root), F (major 3rd), A♭ (perfect 5th).

Right hand: thumb on D♭, then fingers 3 and 5 on F and A♭. Left hand: finger 5 on D♭, 3 and 1 on the notes above.

Each inversion moves the bottom note up an octave. Practicing them in a row teaches your hand the same chord in three shapes, so you can reach it from wherever your hand already is.
