    D9 Chord (D Dominant 9th Chord) on Piano & Guitar

    A piano keyboard reference for the D dominant 9th chord, abbreviated as D9 or Ddom9, with the notes on piano.

    The D dominant 9th chord has the notes D F A C E.

    The D9 chord is a D dominant 7th chord (D7 chord), with a major ninth added on top.

    The intervals of the D9 chord are the root (D) , major third (F) , perfect fifth (A) , minor seventh (C) and major ninth (E) .

    Dominant 9th chords are 5-note chords and the 9th falls on the next octave. That means that they can often be impractical to play unmodified. For this reason, the 9th is often played at the 2nd scale degree position instead. You'll also often see the 3rd or the 5th being omitted from dominant 9th chords.

    Below you can see and play the D9 chord on the piano, in its unmodified version as well as without the 3rd, without the 5th or with the 9th in 2nd degree position.
