How am I supposed to play this chord?

I’ve tried to play this chord a couple different ways and I have no way to play it. I tried to have my index on 10 my pinky on the 16s and my middle or ring on 14. Is there something I’m missing or are my hands just too small?

It's probably a copy-paste mistake, someone used a notation program's automatic features to create the tab and didn't check if it can actually be played.

Try playing it as: 10 x 11 11 10 x

same notes, different tab

It's a Dmaj7 chord, by the way.

I gave it a try with a fingering as you described. Not really convincing, but possible. The rest is a matter of practice.

If you are going for dextrous fingerings I suggest taking an electric guitar and starting as high up the neck as possible. You could probably hit something like 14-20-20-18---- right now. And from there you go down the neck and work your fingers wider.

Are you sure this is not a typo?

One way to play such chord is to play the bass note with your right hand, by tapping.

Another possibility is to change fingering to xx0675
