Yes, shane, it's all music theory, which I've had three semesters of here at college, and some before college..

Winglet, in traditional jazz chord naming, the 9th does include the 7th. Thus a more appropriate notation would be a "sus2" as opposed to the "9."

And finally, definitely don't use the Em scale, as the usual Em scale includes a D#, which does not sound good in the context of these chords unless you REALLY know what you're doing with the scale.
ok I guess you're right.
good, and you?

I think the joke/pun would be along the lines of the lod monty python joke; "the department of redundancy department"

to say they mean the same thing And are redundant is redundant...

ha... ok

When something has a second and a fourth in it, I always thought it would be an add9sus4 or something like that. But I don't really know much about music theory. I really wish I did, though. I'm gonna take a class on it as soon as I can.
Peace,
Chris
