D9 shape

hb · #1 September 2nd, 2007

Kirk: You've stumped me here! In your Amazing Grace in D, you stated,
"If so, remember that shape! It's the 9 shape, applies to all 9th chords."
I understand this in saying ALL chords that are 9ths, have the same shape, no matter what chord it is in??????
I haven't taken the time to break all this down and digest it, but I'm perplexed as to how this can be. Please explain.
thanks,

That shape is a 9th shape, hb, or at least one of them. The one in the lesson is D9, move it up two frets, it becomes E9; move it down two frets it becomes C9, etc., etc,.
