Chords of Jimi Hendrix
Continuing our Hendrix
mini-series here at http://chord-a-day.blogspot.com/ today's chord is a nice sounding E major9 chord. This chord is the very first guitar chord played at the start of 'Angel
' from 'The Cry of Love
' album released after his death.
We've featured an alternative E major9 inversion before. Remember that Hendrix tuned his guitar down a half step, so you'll sound a semitone higher unless you detune too. There's more info on Jimi's tuning in our first Hendrix chord post.
Here's the fingering for this guitar chord:
If you miss out the open E strings in this chord, you're playing a G#m7 chord.
Major 9 chords can be replace major 7th chords, and can often be played in place of major chords. It can replace I and IV chords.
Major 9 chords use these degrees of the major scale: 1, 3, 5, 7, 9
E Major 9 uses the notes: E, D#, G#, B, F#, E
Our inversion uses the notes in this order: E, F#, G#, D#, B, E.
Tune in tomorrow for more of our Jimi Hendrix mini series and another Hendrix guitar chord of the day.
