While researching melodic minor chords I came across Am(M9). If this is a true chord what notes are in it? My guess is A-C-E-G#-B.
Not sure if one plays this on a piano… probably something for a guitar?

The notes in "Am maj9" are A-C-E-G#-B. I use that chord quite often, on piano and guitar as well. It sounds really nice as a final chord in a song that's in the key of A minor. Or in the middle of a descending voice line "A-G#-G-F#...". Do you know the song "Stairway to Heaven" by Led Zeppelin? The second chord in the famous progression could be called "Am maj9".
