Q. specifically (add9) chords and ninth and 11th chords. Thanks in Advance.
A. add9 just means you add the 9th to the given chord. The 9th is the same as the 2. Imagine you just continued counting the notes of the major scale AFTER the octave.
So Cadd9 would be C E G D, Emin(add9) would be E G B F#, etc
Cadd9 is different than a simple C9. C9 indicates the presence of the flat 7th too (C E G Bb D)
Here's a link to a chord construction chart I made. It tells you the which notes are in various chords, along with a few different ways they may be indicated on a lead sheet.

It doesn't have anything about 11ths or 13ths, it should make sense how that works after looking at it. The only thing to point out is that C13 is 1 3 5 b7 9 11 13. Parentheses are often used to indicate alterations or additions to a given chord. So C9(b5) would be 1 3 b5 b7 9 and C7(11/13) would be 1 3 5 b7 11 13
What are some tips for music/song writing?
Q. I have lyrics okay, but maybe some suggestions there too.
I am decent, which means novice at piano and guitar. That's where I need the most help, how do I actually write the music, choose chords, etc.
Any help would be appreciated, I would love to have some music to go with my lyrics and have some original music :)
A. I write my own music and know exactly what you're talking about. First writing chords for a song (on guitar, anyway) depends on the kind of music you're writing. If it's country, most country songs have the chords G, C, D, Em, Em7, or Cadd9. of course, these are only a few. So, depending on the genre, write a group of chords (normally 4 chords) that make a tune you like. play those four chords and see how they fit to your lyrics. hope this helped a little.
Is there anyone who knows the chords to "why" By the rascal flatts?
Q. I need to learn it for a competition so if you know the chords on piano or could find out the chords and let me know that would be GREAT! thanks!
