Dominant 9th Chords (I)

Dominant 9th chords are built from 1st, major 3rd, natural 5th, minor 7th and major 9th degrees of the Mixolydian scale. Mixolydian is one of the 7 modes of the major scale (here some brief intro of The Modes Of The Major Scale).
So the dom 9th chord type is: 1 3 5 b7 9.


They are function like the dom7th chords and they are very usable in comping, especially in Jazz, Blues, Funk styles, but not only in them.
The next time you'll see let's say a A7 chord, just replace it with a A9. Use one of these shapes and let your ear to decide which one form fits better.
Learn these shapes and transfer them in to the other keys.


TIP: you can also create a dom 9th chord sound by playing a m7b5 from the 3rd of the dom 9th if the bass play the root. e.g. to create a G9 chord, play a Bm7b5 and let the bass player play the G root.
Njoy.
