G9 chord guitar lesson
Hi there, I’m Tomas from TomasMichaud.com. I’m gonna show you the G9 chord not only will I teach you G9 but I’ll teach you three different forms so you can pick the ones that’s best for you.
So here we go, G9. This chord has many different forms and you could play it in many different ways but I’m gonna show you the three most practical ways, the ones that I really use. Let’s start with the easiest one. Take a look at my left hand. Now the way to do this is to make a G7 open chord then move your second finger over to the third string on a second fret. Did you see that? Now, that’s the G9. Now I get on the third string. So my first finger is on the first fret first string. My second finger stretches over to the third string second fret and then I got my third finger over here on the sixth string third fret. By the way, if you go to my blog post if you are watching this anywhere else on my blog post, I’ll have a download sheet so you can really see this on paper, so that’s the open form of the G9 good for when you’re playing open chord.
Now, the next form I wanna to teach you is the most useful form not the easiest, the most useful form. We’re gonna go way up here up on the fret board. I used this form all the time not so much for the G but for other forms of the 9 chord. I’m up here on the 10th fret. I’m using the fifth string with my second finger, 10th fret first finger over here on the fourth string 9th fret then I’m flattening out my third finger to cover the second and third strings – that is a G9. If you bring it over down here to the third fret, that’s a C9, D9 on the fifth fret and G9. I’m not actually playing this but you could. It actually is part of the chord so it can go either way. You can deaden it out slightly or play, it depends on the sound you want. Sometimes you want that higher sounds sometimes you don’t so this is a good one for blues.
Now for form #3, this is actually in the middle in terms of difficulty and in practicalities and use actually. I used this about in the middle too. Make a G7 bar chord on the third fret now put your pinky on the first string fifth fret – G9. You turn to G7 bar chord into a G9 so the big clue I got my bar all the way across the third fret. I’ve got my third finger on the fifth string fifth fret. I’ve skipped the fourth string and put my second finger on the third string fourth fret – that’s a G7 and then the pinky over here on the fifth fret first string.
Okay that’s it, three forms of the G9. Go practice and start with the one that you like best but then try the other ones you might find that one fits what you are trying to do better than the other. It depends on where you’re at. If you’re playing an open chord and you need a G9 you might wanna do this but if you’re playing bar chords, you might wanna jump to this one or if you’re doing higher chords, this one fits the bill.
