Playing the third, seventh, and ninth tones of the D major ninth chord (which are F#, C#, and E):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,Fs,Cs,E,&amp;color=CC9900&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;produces the A voicing of the D major ninth chord:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,Fs,Cs,E,&amp;color=CC9900&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nUsing the following voicing numbers, most chords can be rearranged:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>3-7<\/p>\n<p>3-7-9<\/p>\n<p>7-3<\/p>\n<p>7-3-5<\/p>\n<p>7-3-13<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2>Application Of The A&amp;B Voicing Technique In Chord Progressions<\/h2>\n<p>Now that we&#8217;ve covered the concept of the A&amp;B voicing technique, let&#8217;s go ahead and learn how they can be applied over the following chord progressions:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The 1-4 chord progression<\/p>\n<p>The 6-2-5-1 chord progression<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>Attention:<\/strong> All the examples in this segment would be given
