Creative guitar book 1 is great but on page 100 he talks about constructing 9th 11th and 13th chords..
It says "In theory, you would construct Cmaj9,Cmaj11 and Cmaj13 from stacking the appropriate number of odd-numbered notes on top of a Gmaj7 chord" I'm assuming he means Cmaj7 ??
As it then says "Similarly you would produce G9,11 &13 from a G7(dom) chord" and then implies the same rule for Gm9 etc..
Also, he says theres ONE exception to the rule, the Dominant 11th, as the 11th and major 3rd are technically 1 semitone apart ,clashing horribly the 3rd should be replaced with a 5th or 9th.....
He then says the maj11th chord clashes with its own 7th so the 11th should be sharpened to produce a lydian sounding chord...

A typo I'd say.

Surely that makes two exceptions, no ?
Much appreciation fro any enlightenment on this please !
The actual text reads "One exception would be the dominant chord...." then a seperate paragraph handles sharpening a maj11th.
So not that there is only *one* exception but exceptions, one with would be this <blah> and another is <blah>.
The important point is that the reader understands the point being put across, hopefully without any confusion. _________________ Cheers

G and C being neighbouring scales with only a raised 4th in it... OR C and G looking a bit similar in their upper case state? _________________ Fabulous powers were revealed to me the day I held my magic Suhr(d) aloft and said "by the power of great scale!"
