View post (Harmonizing a scale - building chords on a scale)
View threadHummm...this is some pretty esoteric stuff here. My first question would be, does it sound good? Cuz if it does, there you go. Go with it. But on further reflection, I think the question is this "isn't a sharp 9 the same as a minor 3rd?
In C, the minor 3rd is Eb.
In C, the 9 is D.
In C, the #9 is D#.
D# = Eb.
On a major chord, that would sound pretty dense and dissonant. Is that what you wanted?
