Chord & FretCm(add9) on guitar
On the guitar, six strings give the chord room to breathe — some positions use them all, others ask you to mute the lowest ones. In this position the bass is C and the shape runs from fret 3 to 4, ringing 2 open strings. Its hollow wooden body gives every chord a warm, natural ring that blooms and fades on its own.
Notes on C: C – Eb – G – DFormula: 1 – b3 – 5 – 9In the formula, the numbers count steps of the major scale starting from the note that names the chord; "b" lowers a half step, "#" raises one — and a slash names the bass note.
Where to use it: Ballads, soundtracks and arrangements with a more open minor color.
