Think the last chord of "Hold On Tight" by ELO - D6add9 10 9 9 9 10 10 =. Also known as the Albert Lee chord - E6add9 0 11 11 11 12 12.

Formula 1 3 5 6 9 so C6add9 would be C E G A D which is 8 7 5 2 3 x.

Here are 5 CAGED shapes for moveable 6add9 chords.

Db6add9 (C-shape): x43344

Bb6add9 (A-shape): x13533

Ab6add9 (G-shape): 433344

F6add9 (E-shape): 13x233

Eb6add9 (D-shape): xx1563

What other moveable 6add9 chord voicings can you come up with?

I love this chord. It's a bit like tuning a guitar backwards so the major 3rd is between the bottom 2 strings instead of the top 2. I think it would make for an interesting tuning.
