How to add the 9th chord and extension to your playing

Using the 9th in your playing is a great asset to control. The 9th gives you more target notes in the chord and makes the sound of the chord much more exciting.
Exchanging the root for the 9th gives you this great open sound waiting for more.
A very nice option in your improvisations.
