Guitar Theory: 9th Chords

Okay, our last chord segment here before we go on to minor scales. These are the 9th chords. These are exactly like the 7th chords but we add a 9th to it. A 9th is an octave higher than the tonic and then add a second (2 frets)

The 9th chord formula is:
1 - 3 - 5 - b7 - 9

The major 7th minor 9th chord formula is:
1 - 3 - 5 - 7 - 9

The minor 7th minor 9th chord formula is:
1 - b3 - 5 - b7 - 9

So together the 9th Chords are as follows: The minor 9th Chords are as follows:
A = A - C# - E - G - B
B = B - D# - F# - A - C#
C = C - E - G - Bb - D
D = D - F# - A - C - E
E = E - G # - B - D - F#
F = F - A - C - Eb - G
G = G - B - D - F - A 		A = A - C - E - G - B
B = B - D - F# - A - C#
C = C - Eb - G - Bb - D
D = D - F - A - C - E
E = E - G - B - D - F#
F = F - Ab - C - Eb - G
G = G - Bb - D - F - A
The Major 9th Chords are as follows:
A = A - C# - E - G# - B
B = B - D# - F# - A# - C#
C = C - E - G - B - D
D = D - F# - A - C# - E
E = E - G # - B - D# - F#
F = F - A - C - E - G
G = G - B - D - F# - A
