\"e79\"<\/a><\/p>\n

E7#9 (otherwise known as the Hendrix Chord) is an interesting alternative to an E or E5.<\/p>\n

It sounds really gritty and bluesy and works well if you want songs in E to sound a bit more ‘out there’. ‘Ideal for ‘Undignified’ or ‘I’ve Found Jesus’ endings.\u00a0
\n\u00a0
\nWarning! Do not play this chord at sensitive moments in church! I did, but I don’t think anyone noticed.<\/p>\n

The techie bit:
\n\u00a0
\nIts an “E” Chord with both major and minor 3rds!
\nThe major 3rd is just a 3rd but
\nThe minor 3rd is actually a #9 – no really!
\nJimi would use this as a root chord (in the key of E)
\nStevie Ray Vaughn would play it as a dominant 7th (in the key of Am)
\nGet jazzy! ..add a Bb in the bass between the E7#9 and the Am.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
