The easiest way to play them
On guitar, D♭ is easiest as a barre, 4th fret grip and C♯m as a barre, 4th fret grip. Barre chords take practice: press the index finger flat across the strings, close to the fret, and roll it slightly onto its side. On piano, every chord here starts with the same hand shape — thumb on D♭, then fingers 3 and 5 for a triad (1-2-3-5 for four-note chords). Inversions keep the same notes but put a different one at the bottom, which makes moving between chords smoother.
