Re: D9 Chord

Hi Micky,

If you go to Resources and look at the Large Chord Chart, find D9 and click on it you will find 36 different ways of playing D9, hopefully one will suit.

Re: D9 Chord

After taking Roger's advice there I went to that chart index.

I would say the easiest way of all to play D9 is to play it exactly the saem way as D7 but play all strings,
on D7 you dont play the E and A strings but in D9 you play:

I think the D9( there are many ways to play it) in link sounds and flows best in the song you're workin' on;

You're very welcome Ken. The thing I like best about this site is that it shows numerous ways to play desired chord and they're dead on 100% everytime I seek help....The is one of the finer sites on the net, way behind Chordie of course...
