Announcement: BluesGuitar.com Releases “Blues Guitar Lesson - How to Play Blues Chords with 9th”
(PRWEB) May 09, 2014 -- A ninth chord is a chord consisting of a triad plus a note forming an interval of a seventh above the chord's root and an interval of a ninth replacing the root note.
“Today I am going to show you a ninth chord where I am going to omit the root note,” says Darville, “that means that we are going to take away the bass note.” In this example of a 9th chord Jacques demonstrates how to construct the chord in the key of A as follows; first Jacques plays a A7 chord by baring his first finger across all 6 strings at the 5th fret and places his 2nd finger on the 6th fret of the 3rd string, 3rd finger on the 7th fret of the 5th string and 4th finger on the 8th fret of the 2nd string, “this is for reference,” says Darville. The 9th chord voicing consists of 4th fret of the 5th string with first finger, 5th fret of the 4th string with 3rd finger, 4th fret of the 3rd string with 2nd finger and 5th fret of the 2nd string with 4th finger. Jacques says, “this is a moveable shape and can be moved to play the four and five chord in the progression. Guitar tabs are available for this easy beginner blues guitar lesson at BluesGuitar.com.
