Way back in the very first instalment of Passing Notes we looked at some basic techniques for creating deep house chords and progressions, focusing on major and minor 7 chords.

If we use C major as a basic example, we can see in the keyboard diagram below that the terms 9th, 11th and 13th simply refer to the second, fourth and sixth notes of the major scale, played above the octave of the root note C.
