Hello friends,

Welcome to another music theory tutorial. In today’s session we will be discussing the difference between two chords with very similar names, the Cadd9 and the C9 chord. We’ll begin by reviewing how our basic major chord is created using the major scale, before discovering what additional harmonies must be added to create the add9 and 9 chords. Let’s get started!

I've been a patron for 2 months roughly, I'm trying to practice at least half an hour every day plus more than 1 hour over the weekend

Another aha lesson for me, Rob. Each one unlocks another mystery. Now I've got some add9 and 9 chord figuring to do. Thanks a bunch.

Super Lesson Rob. Back to basics, awesome and thanks.

My pleasure Dawn. Now that you understand the function of the term "add" you can apply it to chords like Cadd11 or Cadd13. Anytime you see that "add" in the chord name its simply saying "add this scale degree to the basic major or minor chord."

Rob, can you make a lesson on Wonderful Tonight by Eric Clapton. Thanks.

Thanks Rob, I like the theory lessons. But, I have a question: why I should the open high E string not considered to be a 10 instead of another 3? Or the G in the third fret not be a 12?

Ah, that’s the golden question Richard. The reason is because those intervals were already featured in the basic major triad - 1.3.5. Since they won’t change the name of the chord, we don’t bother to differentiate them from the scale intervals in the first octave. Make sense?

Oh yeah!💡🤔

Gonna take a couple times through to assimilate. Thanks.

Great lesson, thank you Rob. I'm confused about how the flat 7 is used to make the C chord into a dominant chord. The flat 7, in this case Bb, is not one of the notes in the C major scale. Am I missing something about music theory?

Hey that’s an excellent question and a really important one. Basically there are two types of 7th chords: dominant 7 and major 7. The first includes the flat 7th, and the latter includes the actual 7th note of the scale.

Hey John, absolutely. I always watch theory videos a few times through before I'm able to apply the information. Let me know if you have any questions. Have fun!
