Chord of the Month
Article from Making Music, August 1987

Guitar

This Chord Of The Month was sent in by Matthew Armstrong of Alderley Edge (Alan Garner country). Matthew, your mystery chord is a 7/9 (no 5th), containing the root (on the A string), third and seventh notes of the scale. If it had a fifth as well, then it would be a major ninth. Try sliding it around a bit. Hurts your fingers after a while, doesn't it?
