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?

          Yes, the AmM9 chord does exist and your guess with A, C, E, G♯, B is correct.



          Of course you can also play it on the piano if you find any use for it ;)

            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".

            Yes, Am(maj9) is an Am triad - A, C, E - plus the maj7 - G# - (that's what the 'maj' part of the chord name tells us) plus the 9th - B - (that's what the '9' part of the name tells us).



            So, A, C, E, G#, B. Good on guitar. Good on piano. Good on anything, really!



            Often used non-functionally to spice up a final tonic chord in a minor key. (In a major key try A13(#11). Think of it as a polychord, B over A7 if you like.)
