Extended chord - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia In music, extended chords are tertian chords (built from thirds) or triads with notes extended, or added, beyond the fifth, including all the thirds in between the fifth and the furthest extended note. In practice however, extended chords do not typically use all the chord members; when it is not altered, the fifth is often omitted, as are notes between the seventh and the highest note (i.e., the ninth is often omitted in an eleventh chord; the ninth and eleventh are usually omitted in a thirteenth chord). Adding the root is also important though the root may be indicated by the chosen notes and musical context or may be passed to a bass instrument. www.sciencedaily.com /encyclopedia/extended_chord   (467 words)
