Songs that use 9th, 11th and 13th chords

Video Description

Upper chord extensions are notes we add to a chord which stretch beyond the octave, so for example, 9ths, 11ths and 13ths. Chords like these can often seem somewhat intimidating if you've not been introduced to them as they come with a whole range of "rules" and conventions on how to play them. So hopefully today I can break down some of the mystery surrounding these lush, beautiful chords!
