For all levels | You are at Page 9 of 10 <1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | NEXT PAGE>
The Seventh flat ninth and seventh sharp ninth
The formula for Seventh flat ninth = 1-3-5-b7-b9 | The formula for Seventh sharp ninth = 1-3-5-b7-#9
What's next? The sharp 9 and the flat 9. The sharp/flat 9 can be altered onto a dominant chord (seventh chord) or minor seventh chord. However, it is quite rare to have a sharp/flat 9
note in a major seventh chord (maj7). The 7b9 chord is actually very similar to a diminished chord over the chord root note. Take a look at C7b9 for instance. When you break it up, you
can see that it is essentially C#dim7 chord with a C root note. If you do the same for C7#9 chord, you get Cm over a C7 chord. It gives a interesting 'clashing' sound.
