Hey guitarists! What would you call "G6-9"? |
|
I've got the guitar book for the show "Honk!", and they keep referring to "6-9" chords. When I see that, I immediately think "6th chord with a flat 9". From looking at the piano score, though, I think they mean a regular 6/9. What would you think when you saw that notation?

1. I'd look it up at Olga. |

Chord names always confuse the hell out of me, and I'm a massively successful international rawkstar. Or maybe not.

4th string through 1st. 2nd fret in the case of the E & A. Third Fret for the D & G. So it's not a flat 9, IMHO. It's one of those Jazz chords.
(O)-(O)-2-2-3-3
You have the option of playing the Open E, and/or Open A, though of course neither is the root.

3. Or......here's another way. |

I'm always thinking in open strings, so here's another way to play it to take advantage of that:
3-(O)-0-2-O-O
If you play it this way, you get an Open B on the 2nd string, which might open it up a bit. But you might need to mute the Open A, depending. It might sound a little sloppy if you don't.

11. I never bother with theory. |

I'm a Rawk Guitarist!!
80% of the time I'm playing a A5 or a G5 with copious and overflowing amounts of distortion and feedback anyway.

7. G6 with the ninth added |
|
That's how I would interpret it. More often than not, I call them "crap written by an idiot who just adapted a piano part."

Very cool site, btw... On edit: the link doesn't take you directly to the G 6/9...click on guitar chords and use the drop down menus. http://www.wholenote.com/default.asp?iTarget=http%3A//www.wholenote.com/basics/arps.asp

9. That's A Wierd Designation! |
|
Normally, i would expect to see 13/9 not 6/9. (Remember that the only real difference, in chord theory, between a 13th and 6th is the presence of the 7th, so the 6 is added "on top" of the 7th.)
However, the normal 6th chord has no dominant 7th, while both the 9th and 13th do. So, perhaps the point is to play the 6th chord with the added 9th without playing the dominant 7th. I'd call it a C6sus9. (Assuming key of C, for convenience.)
If i'm correct about this, the notes would be C, E, G, A, D. Probably set up as a four tone chord, leaving out the fifth, (G). Or the tonic, the major 3rd, the 6th and the 9th.
Yeah, i'd call that a 6sus9 chord. The Professor

12. I think that's G-69, it's an inverted chord position |
|
