What are 7th and 9th chords?
7th chords can be extended to 9th, 11th and 13th chords. If you have a C7 (C dominant seventh), then the corresponding chords would be C9, C11 and C13 . The C9 is a C7 with a major ninth (or second) added. ... This is because there would be an interval of a minor ninth between the third and the eleventh.
What makes an 11th chord?
