Acordes 9 - Mexican Guitar Players

Chords 9

Chords 9 They are made up of 5 notes that correspond to grades:

Root - Major Third - Fair Fifth - Minor Seventh - Major Ninth (R - 3 - 5 - b7 - 9)

They are represented by the name of the chord plus the number “9”, for example Sun 9 is represented as C9

In extended chords, due to ergonomic issues and limitations of the instrument, it is difficult for us to play all the notes that make up the chord, therefore we will begin to disappear notes.

The process to extend these chords is very simple, and is based on the substitution of two sounds: the fifth and the fundamental.

The 5 can disappear
The fundamental is going to become 9 (if the root is replaced by 9, the root will be represented with dotted lines only as reference)

As a starting point, we will take the voicings Drop of chord 7 (the fundamental position and its investments are very uncomfortable to interpret), in its four investments. The two notes that must always remain are the 3 and the b7.

The perfect fifth is an interval that does not color the chord, so it is always the first to be neglected. The fundamental would be the next to disappear.

The fact of lacking fundamental is not as important as it might seem. In the context of playing in a band, that note will most likely be delivered by the bass player. But even in the case of playing guitar alone, the function of the chord is clearly perceived. The context is everything and allows you to feel the harmonic role, without the need to include each and every one of the notes.
