1) Do add2 Vs Do 9th
▪ If I added Re it will become Do 9th
Note that that the 9th is exactly the 2nd which is Re
But to be able to call it 9th , I have to add the 7th

2) to get chords combination for any music piece

1st , 4th & 5th is the most popular like La bamba , qauntanimera
Most important is 1st and 5th , then we can add the 4th , 6th , 2nd
