A 7#9 — Guitalele

Every way to grip A 7#9 on ADGCEA strings — easiest first, with sound.

A 7#9 chord diagram, starting at fret 5. Strings low to high: A 5th fret, D 7th fret, G 7th fret, C 6th fret, E 8th fret, A 8th fret.

The A 7#9 chord contains the notes A – C – C# – E – G. On the Guitalele (tuned ADGCEA) each voicing below maps those tones onto 6 strings — the chart shows the frets, the suggested fingers, and which chord tone every string carries.

Guitar shapes work unchanged on guitalele — finger them exactly as charted; every shape sounds a perfect fourth higher than on guitar.

Start from the easiest grip, then try the alternatives up the neck until one sits under your hand. Tap a chart to hear the voicing before you commit to it.
