Here is a progression demonstrating minor 9th chords. Practice it with one shape and then with several different shapes.
Each time you learn a progression using a new type of chord, practice it with several different shapes as well as transposing it to other keys. If you make a habit of this, you will find memorizing chord shapes easier because they make sense in a musical context rather than as abstract shapes.
Seventh Sharp Nine
A seventh sharp nine chord is created by adding a sharpened 9th degree to any dominant 7th chord. For example, a C7#9 chord contains the notes C, E, G, Bb and D# (1, 3, 5, b7 and #9). The following diagrams demonstrate some common open seventh sharp 9 chord shapes.
The Hendrix Chord
The seven sharp nine chord is often referred to as the "Hendrix chord’ because it was a particular favorite of Jimi Hendrix, especially the voicing shown for B7#9 and C7#9. Hendrix often used it in the key of E by playing it in the 6th position
