clpete Posted March 12, 2011 Posted March 12, 2011 What would you call this chord a Asus/D , a D+9 or something else? D A D E We play for free. We get paid to set up and tear down.
Bill W Posted March 12, 2011 Posted March 12, 2011 Well, D E A would be a Dsus2 (or Drug Enforcement Administration) Korg Kronos 61 (2); Roland Fantom-06, 2015 Macbook Pro and 2012 Mac Mini (Logic Pro X and Mainstage), GigPerformer 4.
Bobadohshe Posted March 12, 2011 Posted March 12, 2011 Dadd9 or Dsus2. Technically it's Dsus2, in that there is no 3rd.

Morizzle Posted March 12, 2011 Posted March 12, 2011 Dsus2 and Asus/D are both fine. It's up to you what you prefer to read on a sheet. It's not a clone, it's a Suzuki.
Theo Verelst Posted March 12, 2011 Posted March 12, 2011 It depends on the notes' place, as suggested it's a not-sp-great chord with blues associations (but then I don't think it would be tabbed as such) or maybe an "intermediate" chord in some score or simply not a full-value tab chord like in jazz probably it wouldn't appear often (not that tabbing is only in the Realbook). If the two Ds are more than an octave apart, or maybe the whole chord is mainly in the bass range, or the whole chord is played an octave above middle C at least, the meaning would probably change. I'd interpret as a octaved bass with 5th and a probably changing melody not or some chord with those notes and that bass.
clpete Posted March 12, 2011 Author Posted March 12, 2011 Hey, thanks guys. The sus2 was escaping my memory. One more please I have called it a D9/F# F# A D A C E We play for free. We get paid to set up and tear down.
Morizzle Posted March 12, 2011 Posted March 12, 2011 Although it's not the most common voicing, you're correct with your chord symbol. If the bass plays an F#, you could leave out the lower A to make the sound more spacious. If there's no bass, you get a nice 'rootless' sound if you play something like F# C E A D. It's not a clone, it's a Suzuki.
Theo Verelst Posted March 12, 2011 Posted March 12, 2011 Are we talking jazz versus rock inversions now?
Bobadohshe Posted March 12, 2011 Posted March 12, 2011 One more please I have called it a D9/F# F# A D A C E Yep. Hopefully that F# is more than an octave from the rest of it though.

clpete Posted March 12, 2011 Author Posted March 12, 2011 It's most likely not common the voicing because I picked it off Tom Petty fingers on his guitar. We play for free. We get paid to set up and tear down.
Morizzle Posted March 12, 2011 Posted March 12, 2011 Damn guitar players! It's not a clone, it's a Suzuki.
Theo Verelst Posted March 12, 2011 Posted March 12, 2011 Oh, guitar fingerings, that can sound quite different, they'll (when they're good at least) detune individual strings easily to e.g. make perfect 5ths, and muted strings depending on the pick or even strum pattern are common. Also the effect used on a electric guitar can very much schange the notes' function in a "chord", for instance those octaves will get certain emphasis on most fuzz effects. Jazz and rock inversion, yeah! At least a vew hundred noteworthy chords per key makes life much more interesting. Yeah, those chords usually sound best when spread out over the keyboard, often that is the raison d'etre for wide chords on the piano in jazz including well chosen addition notes, and in rock the well known Jerry Lee Lewis octaves (possibly add5) with only work right in the higher rgions of the piano keyboard, just like 5ths in the mid-range will require care to play them right according to the needs of the song, while clearly the added 5ths in the bass range won't work as low as the octaves.
