For Jim Peters
The fat E7#9 usually played at 7th fret on a regular guitar (notes root 3rd b7 #9) is found at 2nd fret on the E9, string 9 7 5 4 w half Cpedal or Half Apedal and E's-F
4finger grips are part of what is needed to play 4note voicings.

This thread has made me do some thinking. First, I agree with Jeff. It depends on how you define "useful". How often does a chord need to be played to be considered useful?
Also, maybe we should be more specific when we say "jazz" and state whether we're referring to VERY OLD SCHOOL/YESTERDAY'S CHORDS type jazz that one might hear Emmons, Jerrnigan or Franklin play or VERY NEW SCHOOL/TODAY'S CHORDS type jazz of the '60s and '70s that one would hear played on the E9 neck by someone.
For anyone who really thinks you can play it all on the E9th tuning, let me ask you, when you hear a recording of Buddy Emmons playing, how long does it take you to figure out which neck he's on? More than one second?

Jazz chords are jazz chords,and they havent changed at all over the years.
Just what the heck are "new school/today's chord's type jazz of the 60's and 70's that that are played on the E9 neck"? [This message was edited by Mike Shefrin on 08 August 2006 at 11:02 PM.] |

| Us old rockers associate the main chord in "Foxy Lady" (i.e. an E7#9...more correctly an Eb7#9) as the "Hendrix chord" |

| I may have missed it, but I don't see the E( folk using F# to F for the E7b9, and F# to G for the E7#9 chords. |
