Dominant Ninth Chord or Arpeggio

by Jay Skyler

Scale Degrees:1 3 5 7 9
Pronunciation example: For E9 you say E Nine which is short for E Dominant Ninth Chord
A ninth chord is simply a fancy seventh chord, and is therefore also in the Dominant 7th Family of chord and Scale Qualities. It has one extra note, the ninth scale degree. The ninth is the same as the second scale degree, an octave higher.
Example: Add an F# note to an E7 Chord and it become E9.
