AlChuck Posted March 17, 2004 Share Posted March 17, 2004 I really love a maj7 chord with a flatted fifth. Love that Lydian feeling... I'm also partial to almost any of the many altered dominant chords, e.g. 7b5, 7#5, 7#5#9... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tedster Posted March 17, 2004 Share Posted March 17, 2004 The "James Bond" chord...don't know what it's called... X 0 1 2 3 x Possibly CMaj7+5? Or the "Ren and Stimpy" chord...not sure what it's called, either: 11 12 11 10 0 X I also like Bm7/E for a transition chord. Resolves well to an E...

reachjkh Posted March 17, 2004 Share Posted March 17, 2004 your're right. I think G is cliche too. I'm not going to use it any more either.

no_talent_Bum Posted March 17, 2004 Share Posted March 17, 2004 After giving this a night to think it over, I'm gonna have to go with the A power chord. All these girly chords are great, but I got into guitar to get laid, and a good solid A will get the panties flying. But that's just my opinion. And Pete Townsend's too. www.funkmusician.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's the famous cord from Purple Haze. Not sure though.Am I missing something? Where is the b5 here? Isn't this just an E7#9? The E7-5#9 needs a Bb, right?

Dave da Dude Posted March 17, 2004 Share Posted March 17, 2004 I haven't read all the rest of this, but I'd have to say my favorite is just plain and simple, little ole' Em, with maybe an Em7 thrown in once and a while. Second choice, Am. I guess I like the minor chords Dave the Boring Gotta' geetar... got the amp. There must be SOMEthing else I... "need". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trses335 Posted March 17, 2004 Share Posted March 17, 2004 One of Lightnin Hopkins favorite opening chords. Slide B on 5th string up to 7th fret & hit open low E then 7 5 0 0 7 0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Johnny B Posted March 18, 2004 Author Share Posted March 18, 2004 Hey, this is kinda fun. There are some good ones here, and we have not touched upon of fav half chords or peices and parts of chords, love those things too. Prob my fav is the third on the G string seventh on the A string That's all, it has a dark, but happy sound depending on where you trhow it in. I also like to bang just the root and the fifth, but on the high strings, simple, yet deadly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A String Posted March 19, 2004 Share Posted March 19, 2004 Originally posted by Unemployed: Could someone explain those chart things above, I'm not getting it.Do you mean the Tablature? (Or tab for short). It's very simple... Each line represents a string and the number on the line tells you which fret number to play. The easiest way to remember which way is up in tab is to think of it as being the way you look a guitar neck from your prospective. example: (The skinniest string)-> --3-- ----- ----- ----- --2-- --3-- When they are all together like that, they are played at the same time. That one is a "G" chord. If they are appart, they are played one at a time like a scale. There are all sorts of little symbols that mean things like bend or slide. Have a look around the internet...you should find more help with those. Craig Stringnetwork on Facebook String Network Forum My Music Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A String Posted March 19, 2004 Share Posted March 19, 2004 Sorry, they lined up before I posted. I'll try again. The top line is the smallest "E" string: --3-- --0-- --0-- --0-- --2-- --3-- also...I left out the 0. this means the string is played Open (With no fingers).If there is no 0 there, you don't play that string. You may also see an X which means to mute the string. Craig Stringnetwork on Facebook String Network Forum My Music Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimi Posted March 21, 2004 Share Posted March 21, 2004 dunno why...when i pick up my guitar, the first chord i invariably tend to play is the open E minor. dont know why, i just love the sound of those four open strings ringing together and the trick is to play it loud like u mean it and LET IT RING!! Also if you change the E on the 4th string to F# on the 4th fret it gives it a wonderfully weird sound...think pink floyd's 'welcome to the machine'. al di meola also arpeggiates it the intro to my favourite song of his, 'mediterranean sundance'. just thought id put in my 2 cents worth...

the.circular.motion.rub.it Posted March 21, 2004 Share Posted March 21, 2004 hello! this was a cool chord that i was playing today! i liked it, here it is!>>> ---0-- ---3-- ---0-- ---4-- ---5-- ---0-- hmm what chord is this? well what are the notes: there is the notes E, D, F#, and G (and D and E again)... this chord is, um, a D major add 9 add 11 no 5? a E minor 7 add 9 no 5? a G major9 no third? chords are so intriguing im so fascinated by them +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ steppin in a rhythm to a kurtis blow/who needs a beat when your feet just go +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soonersrock Posted March 21, 2004 Share Posted March 21, 2004 I've always liked: x54030 which is just a open C chord slid up two frets...I think it's a Dadd4add9. It can be used for a standard d chord with a little dissonant flavor to spice things up a little and is best used when you have a C to D or D to C transistion. Em9, 022032, is a really nice sounding one I stumbled across lately...it is easiest to play just like a open D with a and d strings fretted both with your 1 finger. It is the very recognizable first chord to what classic rock song...trivia alert!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the.circular.motion.rub.it Posted March 21, 2004 Share Posted March 21, 2004 hey soonersrock haha we posted the same chord? err nevermind, oh and by the way i like that Em add 9... when i play open E7 or Em7 i like to voice it with the 7dom 7 on the 3rd fret B string, as you did! kudos +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ steppin in a rhythm to a kurtis blow/who needs a beat when your feet just go +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
