Let's now take a look at creating extended chords, specifically ninths.
I'm going to play C minor seventh.
[MUSIC] So just to review this root,
third, fifth, and the seventh.
Now I'm going to get rid of the fifth because it's not that important.
So I'm going to remove the ring finger and with the pinky,
I'm going to play this note here, which is the ninth.
[MUSIC] So this would be the ninth shape.
We can just move this up to get the next chord in the key.
[MUSIC] Now for the next chord,
we've run out of pads,
so we need to move up [MUSIC] again,
maintaining that same shape.
[MUSIC] So that's chord number 3,
[MUSIC] number 4, [MUSIC] five,
again, run out of space for six.
I'm going to go up here, [MUSIC] seven,
[MUSIC] and back to the root.
[MUSIC] So let's take a look at a chord progression using these ninth chords.
So I'm going to start with a one [MUSIC] and then go to a four,
[MUSIC] and come back to a one,
[MUSIC] and then a three.
[MUSIC] So keep in mind,
the three needs to move up here because we don't have enough pads on the right here,
[MUSIC] and then back to a one.
[MUSIC] All right, let's try this with a beat.
[MUSIC]
All right, so that's the chord progression in the key of
C minor and we can easily change this up to a major scale.
Start at that scale button here,
switch to a major.
Let's try a different key as well.
Let's try F. So now that same fingering position [MUSIC].
Remember to remove the ring finger and just have the pinky on the
ninth to get that ninth chord.
If this feels too high,
we can always go down an octave
[MUSIC].
We can easily transpose this chord progression or even change the scale entirely.
So I'll hit that scale button and switch from minor back to major, let's say,
I'll stick with C. Now the one chord [MUSIC] is a major chord [MUSIC].
So just to explore some chord progressions,
we can do a 2, 4,
5, and a 1.
[MUSIC] Another example is a 4,
5, 1, a pretty basic one [MUSIC].
So again, root is over here.
I'm going to move that shape up top here [MUSIC].
So those were a few examples of using ninth chords in chord progressions.
