It has taken me hundreds of hours

Guitar Lesson Overview
Here are some examples of how you can spice up the usual E, A and B major chords by creating add9 voicings. We just move the octave to the 9 instead. It's a bit of a stretch, but it sounds great. You may recognize this sound from "Every Breath You Take", by the Police.
There's also a nice Bsus4 chord in there, which is quite easy to play but sounds great.
I use all of these chords shown quite often when I play, hope you like them!
Guitar Theory Made Simple!
Understanding I-IV-V is an intensive 65 minute video that will give you a crash course on guitar theory. It is not a complete lesson on music theory. Instead, this is the perfect introductory tool to get you started on the guitar, or to reveal the secrets of the fretboard that you are not aware of yet. You will learn why chord numbers are far more important than chord letters, how to write your own songs and chord progressions effortlessly and endlessly, and much more.

Guitar Pro
I use Guitar Pro for most of my video lessons. It is a great product that will not only show you the notes in both TAB and standard notation, you will also HEAR them being played at the same you see them. Very helpful for learning! Click the link below to try the free demo.
Video Clips
I have lots of gear demos too on this site. Go and take a look at some of my Guitar Videos for some examples of gear I use or have used.
Comments on this video lesson:
Nathan, it is just a different way of adding that 9th note. There many different fingerings for all sorts of chords. The key is to know the intervals well.
Comment added on April 06, 2008Sounds amazing thank you, only problem is that i am almost 15 and have very small hands for my age.
Just one question though, how come on Cadd9 (off topic i know) the bottom note is moved up a step instead of the middle, like on the Eadd9, Aadd9 and the Badd9?
I just want to thank you ,I could noot have learned these licks on my own.
