Eadd9 (Guitar, Beginner)

To play the E major add-9th chord:

1. Start with the E major chord;
2. Place your pinky finger on the High E string, 2nd fret;
3. Play the Eadd9 chord.

Intermediate info: You are adding an F# note on top of the E major triad (E-G#-B). The F# note is the 2nd note in the E major scale, but since it is in a higher octave, it can be referred to as a 9th note.
