  • Csus2 and CAdd2 aren't the same. A sus2 chord is triad where the 3rd is 'suspended' and replaced by a major 2nd whereas an Add2 is a triad with a major 2nd added, still containing the third. Good 9th chords you missed are the Major 9th, Minor 9th and 6/9 chords

  • Well pointed out. I thought exactly the same when I came to edit it, but I really didn't want to record it again.

    I did miss out those chords as this video was mostly about the way the just 9th note can be manipulated to give the chord a completely different sound.

    Thanks for the comment.

  • Many thanks for doing this video. Really helpful.

  • Lol, "The fifth isn't really important." But I understand what you mean. Thanks for the help.

  • this is soo good by raymon

  • @hiddengen yes it does help, thanx to the intenet and people like yourself, i am slowly learning to play piano!

  • @jamesmykal Yes, that's right - a Major 9th chord would be a Major 7th chord plus a 9th - 1,3,5,7,9. You could use this chord on the tonic (I) or the subdominant (IV), and on the dominant you can of course have a dominant 7th or 9th. Hope this helps

  • @hiddengen oh, wait I just tought of something, a maj would have the maj 7th instead of the dom 7th, is that right?

  • @hiddengen I wonder what notes would be in a maj9, wouldn't that just be an add9 chord?

  • I've played the Piano for 11 years now and I learnt quite a lot of new things from this video! Especially on the "spicier" chords part. xD

  • Thanx you dude! It's really helpfull :) Continue doing great your great videos !! :)

  • i actually understood what you said, i gotta get back into reading music man, any advice? i can never seem to stay focused when i try to play a sheet of music
