Play B 9 on Tenor Guitar: diagrams, finger positions, intervals, and every voicing up and down the neck for this instrument.
The B 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 B, C#, D#, F#, A. This page shows how to play B 9 on Tenor Guitar with clear fretboard diagrams and suggested finger positions.
The A string ring open in the lowest shape, with the remaining notes fretted at fret 1 over a 4-fret stretch. B falls on the G string. It sounds from C#3 up to A4.
It has a flat wooden top, so the same grip sustains far longer than it does on a tenor banjo.
Browse alternate voicings to find the one that sits best under your fingers, then compare it with the other chord types built on B or explore the same shape in nearby keys. The diagrams list the notes in each voicing so you can connect the shape to the theory behind it.
