A minor add9 Guitar Chord

Today's Guitar Chord of the Day is A minor add9. This guitar chord is simply to play: just two fingers needed, but is a great sound variation on a regular Am guitar chord.

Add 9 chords can also be written /9 (Ted Greene is a fan of writing add9 chords this way). So today's chord can also be written as Am/9.

Minor add9 chords can be played in place of most minor chords. It can replace chords ii, vi and iii in major keys (although using it instead of chord 3 introduces a non-scale note it still sounds good).

Minor add9 chords use these degrees of the major scale: 1, b3, 5, 9
A minor add9 uses the notes: A, C, E, B
Our inversion uses the notes in this order: A, E, C, B, E

We've featured an alternative inversion of this guitar chord here: C minor add9
