WilliamWilson Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 I think its a type of chord that comes out of the Lydian mode. It wouldn't be a true sus I think since it uses a C# which is the #11(or #4) of the chord and a sus chord usually implies a natural 4. I've seen Jazz Charts where they say "G Lyd." You might just call it a G5(#11). Master the Fretboard, Ear Training... GuitarGames.net Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MILLO Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 You might just call it a G5(#11). sounds reasonable "Without music, life would be a mistake." --from 'Beyond Good and Evil', by Friedrich Nietzsche My MySpace Space Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soulrock Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 Derrick, I would probably write the chord as Dmaj7sus4/G. D as the root, C# the maj7th, and G the 4th. The 5th is absent, but that is common. The G is doubled and is the lowest note hence the /G. I guess it really depends on the context you are playing it in if I would think of the chord that way though. I might think of it as just a G power chord with the flat 5(C#) added for dissonance.

Corner Pocket Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 Context matters.... If the root is a D, then the chord might be interpreted as a Dmaj7sus4. Sometimes you need to know the chords before and after to hear the context, and then understand what the chord really is.

Fumblyfingers Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 Nice chord! With an A in the bass as root you have a super hip voicing of A11th A-Root C#-Maj 3rd G-Dom 7th D-11th I would also put this over an E in the bass as root and call it an Em13....a very freaking hip voicing of it. E-root G-minor 3rd C#-13th D-Dom 7th. If you play a Bb on the 6th string using Bb as root for a Bb (#5, #9 ) no 7th. Bb-root D-Maj 3rd F##-Sharp 5 C#-sharp9 These are for sure my type of chord voicings and in fact I have a song using two of these. I love the interval of a minor second in certain chord voicings. I am prettty sure I named these correctly but should someone question anything, feel free to raise it. Nice chords built off that Derrick. Stay on this path for sure.

Fumblyfingers Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 How about using the 3rd finger to fret a Bb and an Eb ( 6th frets, 6th and 5th strings ) for an EbMaj7 #13 Eb-RootG-Maj 3rdBb-5thD-Maj 7thC#-Sharp13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
