Pretty intense man. Really helped, especially with the augmented and diminished chords. You and your editing. lol
Basic but very important and reminding me that diminshed chords are also other chords is a good thing for me to remember.
good video. isn’t a C9 actually a dominant chord?
Yeah it is, but the way he voiced it there was no seventh. So it doesn’t really contradict that notion. But yeah usually C9 means C E G Bb D and C add9 means C E G D
Music Guru…I may actually dedicate a video to you just to make sure my students check your stuff out. YOu’ve already gone over so many advanced concepts I planned to cover!
yeah but i got a ? for example if you put a C9 you can put c d e g on your left hand instead of putting c e g and then d on you right hand .right?
Yeah you could do that. You can arrange them however you want…mostly. I wouldn’t cluster too many notes together in the lower part of the keyboard cause it gets too muddy. General rule, the lower it is the more consonant the intervals should be (IE 5ths and octaves only below a certain point) Use your ear.
Also usually the bottom note is the root or the third. Sometimes the 5th…or even sometimes the 7th. Never the 9th though unless its a passing tone in a walking bassline.
very nice…now i understand what augmented and diminished chords are…and i now know what other jazzy chords are…thanks
exactly what i needed
No, that’s not a C9 chord. The 9th should be proceeded by the Dominant 7th, Bb in the chord of C. Your example is a Sus2 chord as there’s no 7th.
C9 would be C-E-G-Bb-D – THAT’S a C9 chord. Now, often the 5th maybe omited, therefore a you could have C in the bass, them E-Bb-D in the RH. That would make a common voicing.
This guy keeps making errors in his videos about chord structres among others music theories.
Now that was a great comment M0rgan. Concise and to the point. If I have any questions, im definitely going to ask you or this Ben guy.
Ya’ll have been a huge help
Peace

Same here man, I jus bought this Bluesy JAzz sheet music and it comes with a cd. I been trying to make these chords sound just as rich as the samples.
Good stuff (8
The D in a C9 chord doesn’t have to come before the Bb. Jazz players often play the extensions out of order and it actually makes things more interesting. Can you imagine always trying to play a 13th chord with all the extensions in order? Fact is in the high parts of the keyboard you can cluster stuff together and it sounds fine.
Arg, that last comment was in reply to pobz100
Haha, and I meant to say the Bb doesn’t have to come before the D.
(also re pobz100 ) A sus2 chord wouldn’t include the third. CSus2 is simply CDG. The idea is the 2 resolves to a 3 in the next chord. But CDEG, CEGD, or CGED or whatever is Cadd9. Sometimes the first one is called Cadd2, but it really doesn’t matter, its the same thing really.
There’s always a bit of freedom in how you voice the chords but the really important notes of any extended chord are the third and seventh. As pobz100 said, you can get away with omitting the 5th (because it doesn’t add much information about the chord), but a C9 should always include the minor 7th (Bb). Cadd9 and C9 aren’t the same.
I’ll agree with that. C9 implies the Bb, Cadd9 implies only an added D.
I actually pointed that out in the first page of comments XD
wow u saved me dude =D
I was just practicing the piano, and playing the G713, but I did’nt know what it was called….thank you..
