Q. I already know how to make major and minor chords and inversions. But the others chords I still don't know how to do them. How do you do an AM9 or B7sus or A9. I'm trying to find a tutorial on the net but all I can find is tutorial on the major and minor chords.
I would like to know how to come up with those chords so I don't need to memorize them. The 135 keys is a good example but I don't know how to apply them in chords like AM9. I just know how to apply them in major and minor chords and inversions.
A. So instead of me taking the time to explain the theory of chords here's a good website to show you the notes and such:

Also, another good idea is to search for piano chord charts. They can be helpful. Being a jazz musician it's important to memorize how chords can be inverted, and how simple finger changing can lead to new different chords. Good luck my friend. If you have anymore questions feel free to ask.
Reference for chord voicings on piano?
Q. Hi, I was wondering if you guys know of any online reference or book with different chord voicing styles? Lol, I have writers block right now and need some inspiration. Thanks in advance.
A. "Chord voicing styles" ... I'm not sure what that means. Are you asking for a chord chart, inversion of chords, or progressions. I personally don't like the approach of writing music from a chord progression; I write melody first and then work on the harmony.
I don't have any ready reference for chord progressions, but you can go to http://www.pianoworld.com/fun/vpc/piano_chords.htm to build chords and scales.
What is a G# MINOR piano chord?
Q. I am taking music classes an on my key chart they have a G#M. I can not find this chord, I need the root and the 1st & 2nd inversion.
If anyone can help me I would appreciate it.
A. Root position: G# B D#
1st inversion: B D# G#
2nd inversion: D# G# B
A good theory site is:

If you are studying music an excellent book to have is "The Bradley Book of Chords, Scales & Modes" by Stephen Skinner. It talks about how scales and chords are formed and then lists most every scale and chord in every key that you would probably ever want to know about.
Hope this will help you.
