Music Theory - How To Use Major and Minor add 9 Chords and Lines 

ipsurvivor what songs did he use them in?

I can’t keep up with theory vids

+Jakey Either one works but most people say add9

I will be getting into all those players you are talking about as soon as my mode video project is complete. I'm still about 2 weeks from shifting gears back to some video like you are talking about. What are your ideas?

I transcribed Coltrane's Crescent Solo ( off of Crescent 1964) and a bunch of other ones ( not entire solos but choruses and Ideas that my ears gravitated towards) from this 63-66 era. So many things I can think of... for example the use of upper structure triads, mixing the Altered Dominant with the whole-tone as He often does over dominant 7th chords, Chromaticism... Maybe some stuff out of A Love Supreme ( which has a lot of altered pentatonic ideas). I'm thinking maybe mail or Skype would be a more suitable platform. For many years I've wanted to learn what (one of my teachers) George Garzone is playing over Summertime off of his Moodialogy album with Kenny Werner... i'd love to learn this stuff very much. This is a mystery even to the wise.. ha . In any case I'd love to expand on this.

bsharpmajorscale l love that FF tune. Rock on !!!!

that's because it is! just play an arpeggiated Major 9th (or sus2) chord up 3 octaves and down three octaves, and you've already got the beginning.. then shift down a minor third and do the same thing in minor, and so on..

Absolutely! For me, that is the prime example of this sound.

I've been going through his music for Final Fantasy 7 and realized he loves to use add 9 chords all over the place

So tasty and inspirational.

To me it adds a lot of tragic depth without being pathetic. I use it a lot.

My comment is 3 years old

@@FRODOPIANO now it’s 4

Actually, maybe it's.... Comfortably Numb

@@erikbarrett85 yes, Hey You starts in Emadd9, on the other hand Comfortbly Numb starts in Bm, then goes A-G-Em and its starts all over again. David Gimour uses the minor add9 chord from time to time, it's in Welcome to the Machine, and definitely other songs but I don't remember exaclty which ones right now.

Lol sorry bud guess we'll never know😂

Why? So he cant sell it anymore?

+Nelson Riveros in this video it's all octaves in the left-hand

TerryMusic Rick mentioned in his Facebook Live today that he'll be releasing another Dylan video in a couple of weeks, after the election.

TerryMusic In 2 weeks there will be a new video coming out. This one is going to be crazy :)

Rick Beato You should put him in more videos not just for "challenges". In my opinion it would be cool to regularly see him in your videos and see his progress etc! Would be so cool! thx for the response!

TerryMusic He just had a competition that he's been practicing for and it's the middle of soccer season for him. Most of these videos I make late at night when everyone is asleep.

Rick Beato Oh okay I see! I love seeing Dylan doing anything with music it's so fascinating to me how talented he really is.. I can't wait Rick. Keep up the amazing videos!

Daniel Manahan I did write it. Thanks Daniel!

reminds me alot of Keith Emersons style

yeah great call hopefully Rick can add Keith Emerson to his list of Legend Lessons on creative solos

Will do!

@@RickBeato Its awesome ! .... I've always wondered what that hard hitting second last chord is ??

+Pedro Neves write to me at rickbeato1@gmail.com

Same.

Well, an add9 you would ADD a note at the core chord (1-3-5 Major 1-b3-5 minor -> 1-3-5-9 and 1-b3-5-9). As with a sus2 you would LOWER the 3rd of the core chord to a 2nd (1-3-5 Major 1-b3-5 minor -> 1-2-5 for both cases). So you can tell that a sus chord will transform the triad to another triad (3 notes chord), more open and ambiguous as you lose the 3rd. The add9 chord will enrich the already existing core triad with one more note of the scale, making it richer.

On a sus2 you are replacing the 3rd with a second. In an add 9 you're just adding the 2 and not replacing the 3rd.

Wot

This is not a tutorial for professional sound he is talking about music theory

Sus2 has no third

@@MuzixMaker Okay so a sus2 chord has a root, a fifth and a suspended two (no third). A XmajAdd9 (where X=some root note) has a root, third, perfect fifth and a FOURTH NOTE the 9th which gives it a suspended two feel. Correct? Dan T -Nanaimo, BC Vancouver Island.

@@dannytetreault That's how I understand it, the 9th adding color and tension.

@@dannytetreault almost, that’s not quite right either, Add 2 (or add 9 whichever way you want to look at it) would have the following intervals: Root, Maj 2nd, Maj 3rd, 5th It’s just a major triad with a major 2nd added - no major 7th, hence the word add. In your example you’ve added a 4th, in which case you can call it major add 4 (again or add 11 depends on how you look at it) To clarify for everyone else: SUS essentially replaces the 3rd with the 4th or 2nd - sus2 or sus4 Hope this helps and let’s all thank Rick for his contributions that inspire us all
