Ninth chords are used like dominant seventh chords, so whenever you see a dominant seventh chord in a chord progression, or whenever someone is playing a dominant seventh chord, you can add the ninth to it, for a pretty, jazzy sound.The ninth is a third above the seventh and is also the second step of the underlying scale. Chad shows you a basic ninth chord arpeggio and then gives you some exercises using ninth arpeggios on the chord progression from “Sweet Georgia Brown” in the keys of F and G. He also shows you that the top three notes of a ninth arpeggio are a minor triad. For example, the top three notes of a D9 chord are A, C#, E, the notes of an Am triad.
