EXTENSIONS

Finally, beyond 7th chords, we have extensions. The concept of extensions is a bit complicated and will only be touched upon here, as it requires more extensive study than is possible within the scope of this book. Basically, extended chords continue the process of stacking notes onto a triad that we began with the 7th chord. Instead of only adding the 7th to the chord, however, in a 9th chord we’ll add the 7th and the 9th. In an 11th chord, we’ll add the 7th, 9th, and 11th to our triad, etc. Now, here’s the catch: not all of the notes need to be present in an extended chord. The general rule is, if the 7th is present, then notes other than the root, 3rd, and 5th are extensions and therefore numbered an octave higher (9, 11, 13). Since we’re only capable of playing four notes at a time on the ukulele, we must decide which notes are important and which notes we can omit. Generally speaking, you’ll want to include the root, 3rd, 7th, and the extension. The C13 chord below demonstrates this concept:
