F minor 9

Today's chord of the day is a very useful and nice sounding minor 9 chord. This guitar chord is moveable, the square on the A string indicates the root note. This guitar chord can be fingered in a couple of ways either:

• Barre across the G, B and E strings with you 3rd finger, or
  
• Use your 3rd finger on the G string and little finger on the B string, the top E string should then be muted or not played.
  

Minor 9 chords can be played in place of minor 7th chords, and almost always in place of minor chords. It can replace II, III and VI chords in major keys.

Minor 9 chords use these degrees of the major scale: 1, b3, 5, b7, 9

F Minor 9 uses the notes: F, Ab, C, Eb, G

Our inversion uses the notes in this order: F, Ab, Eb, G, C
