Definition of Extended Chords
An Extended Chord is a tertian chord – meaning it is based on stacking 3rds, like major, minor and seventh chords. The difference however is that extended chords extend past the seventh note into the next octave.
Are 7th chords extended chords?
In music, extended chords are certain chords (built from thirds) or triads with notes extended, or added, beyond the seventh. Ninth, eleventh, and thirteenth chords are extended chords.
What are extended tertian chords?
"Tertian" means built with thirds: thus, extended tertian chords simply are those which go beyond 7th chords: 9th, 11th, and 13th chords. These sonorities generally are used as dominant chords: it's best to think of a "core" Mm7 chord with a "color note" (or several) added onto it.
