Major add9 Arpeggios - Lesson With Guitar Diagrams

What Are Major Add9 Arpeggios?

Major add9 arpeggios are built with four tones, root (1), major third (3), perfect fifth (p5) and ninth (9). They are simply major triads with an added ninth. Major add9 arpeggios should not be confused with major 9 arpeggios that are actually major seventh chords (tetrad chords) extended with an additional note, the ninth (9). So, the only difference between maj9 and major add9 is that the maj9 has a seventh (7).

Majadd9 arpeggios can be used over major chords when you want to add a specific color to your guitar lines.

Maj9	1	3	5	7	9
Major add9	1	3	5	X	9
