MCChris Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 Which one and why?Chords without a sharp, flat or number in them are not allowed. Nor are chords that don't exist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest teefus2 Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 i always liked those 7sus4 chords that alex lifeson and andy summers used alot. i like using inversions where the third is on top too. it fills everything out nicely in a two guitar band.

Brooks Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 i like the ol' miles davis "so what" chord, "6/9 no 3rd".from low note, its 6, 9, 5, 1. the lack of a 3rd makes it open & ambigious sounding.---3---3--2--2-------- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jujisque Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 7 (+11) because then you can get your lydian dominant groove on7 (+5)9 hooray for the whole tone scale! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savethematches Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 Don't know whatcha call it, but it goes something like this here . . .e--3b--3g--od--2a--oe--xI see it as an A power chord with a G power chord stacked on top. I use it in place of Am in a G progression. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest teefus2 Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 that d with the f# on the low "e" string is pretty cool too. there is a neat chord after it in e costello's "peace, love and understanding" that is some sort of f/c thing, that is cool too.

Monacosis Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 i always liked those 7sus4 chords that alex lifeson and andy summers used alot. i like using inversions where the third is on top too. it fills everything out nicely in a two guitar band.i dig those shapes too. The sus4 and 7sus4 shapes support quartal harmony, which I am really into at the moment. Very open sounding. Really interesting things starting happening when you invert stacked fourths. Sometimes hard to grab, but cool sounding .mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomteriffic Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 Agumented add 9. Adds a little kick to yer basic augmented chord, especially when resolving from the dominant to the tonic (the V to the I). Easy to grab and impresses the other guitar players in the audience F'rinstance, an Eaug add9 just dying to resolve to an A6 --------x -----------7 --------5 ---------6 ----------7 -------x Edit to add: Other than that, my fave is the Q27 Demented over the square root of -1.

elduave Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 Major 7ths (I use them in Carpenters, Elton and Chigacgo tunes) always make it sound like I actually have some talent. Open tunings have the same effect... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atquinn Posted September 10, 2005 Share Posted September 10, 2005 Why play a regular chord when a "weird" one will do? One of the chords that finds it's way into many of my songs is:e-0b-3g-2d-0a-0e-3In fact, thee-0b-3g-2d-0(Dsus2?) sounds great with all sorts of root notes on the fifth and sixth strings.-Austin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
