3351:, and it is very common to see both methods on the same score. One way is to simply use the word 'add', for example, C. The second way is to use 2 instead of 9, implying that it is not a seventh chord, for instance, C. Note that this provides other ways of showing a ninth chord, for instance, C, C, or C. Generally however, this is shown as simply C, which implies a seventh in the chord. Added tone chord notation is useful with seventh chords to indicate partial extended chords, for example, C, which indicates that the 13th is added to the 7th, but without the 9th and 11th.

Most commonly, power chords (e.g., C–G–C) are expressed using a "5" (e.g., C). Power chords are also referred to as

Remember that this is theory, so in practice they do not have to be played in that ascending order e.g. 5, 1, 6, 3. Also, to resolve the clash between the third and eleventh, one of them may be deleted or separated by an octave. Another way to resolve might be to convert the chord to minor by lowering the third, which generates a clash between the

Accordingly, using the ninth, eleventh, or thirteenth in chord notation implies that the chord is an extended tertian chord rather than an

The use of 2, 4, and 6 rather than 9, 11, and 13 indicates that the chord does not include a seventh unless explicitly specified.

The convention is that using an odd number (7, 9, 11, or 13) implies that all the other lower odd numbers are also included. Thus C implies that 3, 5, 7, 9, and 11 are also there. Using an even number such as 6, implies that only that one extra note has been added to the base triad e.g. 1, 3, 5, 6.
