E maj9 Chord
How the E maj9 chord is built: its notes, its interval structure, and where it fits.
The E maj9 chord contains 5 notes: E – F# – G# – B – D#. It belongs to the ninth & extended family of chord qualities. Like every chord, it is defined by the distances (intervals) between its notes, not by any one instrument — which is why the same formula names the chord whether it is voiced on a fretboard, a keyboard, or a choir.
