Am9 Guitar Chord Lesson for the Beginner

September 18, 2010 By rserpe Leave a Comment

Learn how to play the Am9 guitar chord (also known as A minor 9, A Minor 9th) with this free beginner chord lesson. This lesson will cover a very simple way to play the A Minor 9 chord.  There are other ways to play this chord, but I wanted to introduce the easiest way so you will be able to play this beautiful, jazzy sounding chord.

The A Minor 9  Chord  is found by locating the 1, b3, 5 , b7, 9  steps of the  A Major Scale: A, B, C#, D, E, F#, G# , or the notes A, C, E, G,  and B.  The “b3” symbol translates to “Flattened 3rd” , which means we simply lower the 3rd step of the A Major Scale (C#) a 1/2 step to a “C”. The “b7” symbol translates to a “Flattened 7th” , which means we simply lower the 7th step of the A Major Scale (G#) a 1/2 step to a “G”.

The notes of the A Minor 9 chord are: A, C, E, G and B

 

The chord  chart below demonstrates how to play the Am9 Chord.

Here is a key that will help you read the chart:
