Does Anyone Know Any Jazz Chords On Piano?

Q. On piano or keyboard can anyone tell me any jazz chords because i think they sound awesome. Could you tell me what notes to put my fingers on please?

A. There's no real list of jazz chords per se, but 7th chords (7, min7, maj7, etc) are commonly used in jazz.

To play a 7th chord, play the first, third, and fifth note of the scale (major chord) and add a flatted 7th to it.

The formula for a basic 7th chord is 1 3 5 b7

C major scale = C(1) D(2) E(3) F(4) G(5) A(6) B(7)
So, to make a C7 chord, play C E G and Bb

Formula for a maj7 chord is 1 3 5 7
Formula for min7 chord is 1 b3 5 b7
Formula for maj(min7) chord is 1 b3 5 7

You can usually also substitute 9th and higher (11th, 13th, etc.) chords for most 7th chords (9th chords are 7th chords with the 9th attached)

C7 = C E G Bb / C9 = C E G Bb D
Cmaj7 = C E G B / Cmaj9 = C E G B D
Cmin7 = C Eb G Bb / Cmin9 = C Eb G Bb
Cmin(maj7) = C Eb G B / Cmin(maj9) = C Eb G B D

The are so many other chord types out there though, so don't just rely on these!

Original Question

how do you build this piano chord?
Q. I'm trying to figure out how to build a Badd9 chord on the piano. I'm not sure how to do it. I know I could just google it, but I'd like it if someone would be able explain how you would build it if you had to explain it on a test.

Thank you!

A. B add 9 is simply a B major triad with the 9th added in there. So you've got B D# and F#, then a C#.

The chord Rachel described is a B9... not Badd9. B9 has the b7 in it, Badd9 does not.

Original Question

How do I form special piano chords?
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
