Question about C Embellishments

Those are interchangable. The 9th scale degree is the 2nd scale degree an octave higher. The 11th is the 4th an octave higher.
Strictly speaking the 9th & 11th do refer to the notes of the scale in a higher octave. But from a practical perspective they are often used interchangably in guitar practice.
Hope that helps!
I love questions on embellished or extended chords "To Sus, or to Add" etc....
"and is this a minor 7 flat 5 or half-diminished???????"
"but why the dominant 7th?????"
"this is its shape, but why does it have 4 different names and fits in 6 different keys????"
"why is my nose bleeding and head now hurting?????"
Welcome to the wonderful world of music theory.
I wish this forum had a "block user" feature. Possibly I'm not the only one......
