I break it down (alongside 4 other world-changing chords) in this week’s Sunday List:

If you’ve ever fought through a barred F or floated on a maj7… this list is for you.
Jazz guys call it an “altered dominant.”
Guitarists call it “that Hendrix chord.”
I call it a micro-revolution in 6 notes.
Once you hear it, you feel it in your teeth.
Technically:
• It’s a dominant 7
• With a major AND minor third
• Which shouldn’t work
But it does.
It’s tension, arrogance, unresolved swagger.
Music theory says, “you can’t do that.”
Hendrix says, “watch me.”
You’ve heard it.
It’s the opening growl of Purple Haze.
The chaos behind Funk #49.
The sophisticated snarl of Kid Charlemagne.
The chord doesn’t sit. It leans forward—like it knows a secret and it’s not sharing yet.
There’s one chord that helped launch funk, defined Hendrix, and made rock music sound dangerous again.
It’s ugly. It’s unstable. It’s perfect.
Let’s talk about the E7#9 — the Hendrix chord. 🧵
