What notes are in F♯add9?

F♯add9, F♯ added ninth, is F♯, A♯, C♯ and G♯: the root (F♯), the major third (A♯), the perfect fifth (C♯) and the ninth (G♯). Its formula is 1 3 5 9.

Can I use F♯add9 instead of F♯?

Yes, almost anywhere: F♯add9 is F♯ with G♯ added, which gives it a brighter, more open ring.

Is F♯sus2 the same as F♯add9?

No. F♯add9 keeps the major third, A♯; F♯sus2 drops it and has G♯ in its place.

What is the difference between F♯add9 and F♯9?

F♯9 also has the minor seventh, E; F♯add9 adds the ninth with no seventh at all.
