I am a newbie, and I have made myself a mini chart of chord locations for E9 tuning. It may be
helpful to other newbies. The chart is based on the minimum copedent shown below. Knee G is very
helpful in obtaining a "down" (v) chord:
------------------------
0 | A | B | E | G |
---|----|----|----|----|
F# | | | | |
D# | | | | |
G# | | A | | |
E | | | Eb | |
B | C# | | | |
G# | | A | | F# |
F# | | | | |
E | | | Eb | |
D | | | | |
B | C# | | | |
------------------------
MINI CHORD LOCATION CHART:
|<---------------------------------- fret------------------------------------>|
pedal| | -2 | |ROOT | | +2 | | | +5 | | +7 | | | +10| | +12 |
-----| |-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
0 | | | | i | | | | | iv | | v | | | | | i |
A | | | |vi m | | | | |ii m| |iii m| | | | |vi m |
AB | | | | iv | | v | | | | | i | | | | | iv |
E | |ii m| |iii m| | | | |vi m| | | | |ii m| |iii m|
EG | | iv | | v | | | | | i | | | | |iv | | v |
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The grip at st-3,4,5 with EG pushed will produce a iiim while st-4,5,6 will produce a v.
This sounds OK with phrases like below, key G, 3/4 time, where notes are 1/4 and X extends
previous note 1/4. The ^ indicates 1/8. In bar 3 the G is pushed with the E in advance.

Pros please check for errors, thanks.
