The A# 9 chord is an extended or altered dominant that stacks ninths, elevenths, thirteenths, or chromatic tensions over a dominant-seventh core. It is built from the notes A#, C, D, F, G#. This page shows how to play A# 9 on Tenor Guitar with clear fretboard diagrams and suggested finger positions.

The C and D strings ring open in the lowest shape, with the remaining notes fretted at fret 1. A# falls on the A string. It sounds from C3 up to A#4.

It has a flat wooden top, so the same grip sustains far longer than it does on a tenor banjo.
