Guitar Lesson: Generating Challenging Picking Exercises From Ninth Chords

In this Weekly Workout, let’s take a close look at a common extended chord—containing a note beyond the seventh, the venerable ninth. The ninth of a chord is the same note as the second scale degree. For example, D is both the second and ninth of C. However, the ninth is typically thought of and played above the octave in a chord voicing or solo line. It’s commonly used to dress up major, minor, and dominant chords, and its pleasant yet fairly neutral sound makes it ideal for chord voicings in many different styles of music.
