— About this chord
A#7#9 (the 'Hendrix chord') fuses a dominant seventh with a sharpened ninth, clashing the minor-third color of the #9 against the major third for a gritty, bluesy snarl. A cornerstone of funk and blues-rock rhythm playing, it's almost always fretted as a compact movable barre shape with the root on the fifth string. Great for turnarounds and single-chord vamps. Also searched as Bb7#9.
