About Cadd9
The Cadd9 chord is made up of C (root), E (major third), G (perfect fifth) and D (ninth). Its interval formula is 1 – 3 – 5 – 9. The added ninth gives the major chord an open, modern color, widely used in pop and rock.
Cadd9 has no standard open shape in the CAGED system, so its 68 voicings are sorted only by difficulty and position on the neck.
