It&#8217;s what you get when a note repeats itself higher. For example, hit any C, then go to the right and hit the very next C you find. That&#8217;s an octave.

A lot of times, chords sound better by just &#8220;including&#8221; certain extended tones like 9ths, 11ths, and 13ths &#8212; but not all at once.<\/p>\n<p>So, if you want to be absolutely clear, say &#8220;add 9&#8221; or &#8220;add 11&#8221; or &#8220;add 13.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>For example, this is a textbook C major 9th chord:<br \/>\n<img src='https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=C,E,G,B,D&#038;color=CCFFFF&#038;size=2' border=0 \/><\/p>\n<p>But this is a C major add 9 chord:<br \/>\n<img src='https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=C,E,G,D&#038;color=CCFFFF&#038;size=2' border=0 \/><\/p>\n<p>This should be seen as a regular C major triad (C E G) with an added &#8220;9th&#8221; tone. We literally skipped the 7th degree by calling this a regular C major chord with an added 9th.<\/p>\n<p>Get it?<\/p>\n<p><strong>C major 9<\/strong> = includes everything.<\/p>\n<p><strong>C major add 9<\/strong> = is a regular C major chord but with an added 9th tone.<\/p>\n<p>But also realize that someone may call a chord a <strong>C dominant 13 <\/strong>(you&#8217;ll learn this in my <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hearandplay.com\/main\/piano-chords-complete-guide\">free chord guide<\/a>) but not have all lesser degrees in the chord. It&#8217;s common for a 13th chord to be missing the 11th but still be referenced as a 13th. Realize that there is &#8220;slang&#8221; in music just like in real language. Understand the rules but know that in the real world, there might be another way to do it. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<h2>Major 9th Chords &#8211; Infographic<\/h2>\n<p>And lastly, here&#8217;s a handy little chart we created for you to make learning all your major 9th chords a breeze.

Usually, they have the effect of making the chord sound more jazzier\/contemporary. They can also enhance the fullness of the chord.<\/p>\n<p>But don&#8217;t sacrifice the melody of your song just to add major 9th chords to your playing. Use inversions to &#8220;hide&#8221; the 9th interval inside the chord like this:<\/p>\n<p><img src='https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=C,D,E,G,&#038;color=CCFFFF&#038;size=2' border=0 \/><\/p>\n<p>This is almost always a winner. You get the &#8220;added&#8221; 9th tone (D) for color, but keep the original melody note (G) of your chord on top.<\/p>\n<p>Here are other ways to play it:<br \/>\n<img src='https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=G,C,D,E&#038;color=CCFFFF&#038;size=2' border=0 \/><\/p>\n<p><img src='https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=D,E,G,C&#038;color=CCFFFF&#038;size=2' border=0 \/><\/p>\n<p>There you have it.
