LadyDpiano: Cornerstone Chords: Hillsong

I love the song, Cornerstone from Hillsong. Watch the YouTube Video and be blessed.

It's from the album, Cornerstone and it's such a great song to listen to when you're going

through some difficult times.

C9

Basically, a Major Seventh with Ninth = C E G B D

Right, you're just adding the ninth to the seventh chord.

So what is a C dominant 9 Chord?

C E G Bb D

Basically, it's a C dominant 7 chord with an added 9 tone. Play Bb and E with the left hand and Bb, D and G on the right.
