Ninth Chords - Easy

Here is a systematic way of creating 9th chords. The example is in E but can be used with any key. I should have removed some "o" labels. Just ignore them if the string is fretted.

Cool stuff, and it also doubles a guide to get b9 chords for that dom/alt sound. 

Another trick I use for voicings without a root-doubling is to just move the root a wholetone up (2 frets) so not play the root at all. Let's assume the bass is playing that or that it's implied by the progression anyway. It sounds very contemporary.

Wow - it took me years to work out the James Bond chord and there it is for any Tom Dick or Harry to see!

Gotta be in the top five coolest chords of all time.
