Cheers Andy
thought it might need a D somewhere to qualify for E9th (I wish I understood all this stuff)
Just finished reading your Lap steel book and I thought it was excellent  |

Eadd2 would possibly be the "correct" chord name, since there's no 7th present and the 2 is placed so 'deep' in the voicing and not on the top, but I have no idea if anybody would call a tuning that so perhaps Eadd9 or simply E9 would be the name used as a lap steel tuning....

You're right, I think, Eadd9 is a better description as there's no b7th.
ps thanks, Roger. |

E9 or (E+9) Since F# is the 9th-tone in an E-chord, even though it's the 2nd-tone of the scale, in key-of-E. Chords are formed in order of: #1, #3, #5, #6, #7, #9, #11, #13. You can call the chord by the highest tone produced, regardless of what other tones are present below it in that key!

| Isn't my lap steel teacher smart? George Keoki Lake is trying his best to teach me all the Jedi secrets of that tuning. Slowly and painfully I might add on his behalf! |

You could make a case for it being
G#m aug 7
(Scale tones 1, b3, #5, b7)
But that's just silly. E add9
