 What is your favourite chord? I'm sure, this happened to all of you: You mess around with voicings and end up being totally overwhelmed by the sound of the chord you just invented and that nobody ever has played before (the last part is obviosly not true, but the thought of having discovered something is just too flattering). So what is -right now- your favourite chord voicing you discovered? Please share your experience. Risking that someone says "oh how lame, that chord is obvious/in book xy/being played by zz", I'll start with: G7b9/F: X8678X Your turn, please.

first chord shows a b9...but nice either way. second chord...#13? third chord shows sus2 (or 11 add 9 or something)...maybe you mean C# third string... fourth chord...i love m9 between outer voices, especially nice on upper strings! fifth chord...alias B/C...love it...was my introduction to the haunting world of the dimMA7...so many cool chords...

| Yes it should be F. So the chord is really: F7 #9 #5/A B9#5/A (omit root) F# mi MA13 However the : ||---|-1-|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---| ||---|---|---|-2-|---|---|---|---|---|---|---| ||---|---|---|---|---|-4-|---|---|---|---|---| ||---|-1-|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---| ||---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---| ||---|---|---|---|-3-|---|---|---|---|---|---| is easier to play an is the A lydian sound I can imagine on a 10 string these would be quite difficult. I'll give you one I stumbled on that may be easier I call it C "infused" with D  . Nice Lydian sound ||---|---|---|---|-1-|---|---|---|---|---|---| ||---|---|---|---|-1-|---|---|---|---|---|---| ||---|---|---|---|---|---|-2-|---|---|---|---| ||---|---|---|---|-1-|---|---|---|---|---|---| ||---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|-4-|---|---| ||---|---|---|---|---|---|---|-3-|---|---|---| C F# G D E A. |

| John, just how big are your hands, yikes? Stretch your left hand and measure from the thumb tip to the pinkie tip, please. ================================= This is my progression signature on the Tele forum, and it has some nice chords in it (take that! chicken pickers): x77787 [Emin11] x66678 [Ebmin13] x55565 [Dmin11] x43453 [G13b5] x32442 [Cmaj7#9#11] |

| How about this one: 8x8755 (C9add13??) I use that in conjuction with this chord as well: 8x876x, which is what I call a C11, but I guess is also a C9sus4 or something. Anyhoo, both of those are pretty, yet still interesting sounding chords to me, especially when used in conjunction with each other. |

| BDLH - a hair under 10" on the left hand. I can't get the same stretch on the right Randall. I should probably stop posting while I'm at work. Too many things going on at one time makes me prone to these things Here's one more. I remebered this one after reading a post about a minor major 9 b5 and would have posted it there but the OP never responded to my reply so.... Anyway, one more with a Van Eps barre ||---|---|-1-|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---| ||---|---|---|---|-2-|---|---|---|---|---|---| ||---|---|---|-1-|---|---|---|---|---|---|---| ||---|---|---|---|---|-3-|---|---|---|---|---| ||---|---|---|---|---|---|---|-4-|---|---|---| ||---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---| F Ab B E G G13b9/F or an almost Em/Fm If the reach is a problem , move them up to around the 10th fret. Except in Randalls case since I think the neck gets fatter there on the 10 stringer.  |

8x89(10)(10) but 8x8755 has that D-E second interval that sounds so nice and piano-like. Quote:

| My favorite chord is the one that works well in the right place. My least favorite chord is the same chord in the wrong place. |

| Not a particular chord but a family of chords- I LOVE the sound of sus4 chords. That suspended sound is just beautiful to me- a much 'happier' sound than a major chord, in my opinion. |

| wow thanks for sharing I can see this thread could grow fast, heres some I always come back to. I still have trouble blending creativity with theory so Iv been alright with not mixing the two, one day I just hope they'll find each other! (my wife(a drummer  ) thinks theory takes the magic out of creating music but I love theory) I have worked out some names but have just treated some as shapes really,any analysis would be appreciated as I notice I have chord 'families' that sometimes mix well and am still trying to determine the style that I have often I end up with a droning A,D or E when I jam out by myself.0,11,9,11,12,x, or 9,11,9,11,12,x , x,0,11,9,12,x, x,x,0,11,10,12, x,0,7,6,9,x x,0,9,6,7,x x,0,6,9,7,x x,0,9,9,0,7, x,0,9,9,7,x x,0,9,8,x,7 x,0,7,6,0,0, x,x,x,7,10,8, x,x,x,7,10,7 x,x,0,5,5,1 0,2,2,3,0,0(havnt found a jam for this one yet but its an interesting and ugly b5) Ill stop it there! I have heaps that Ive found but some of these ones are not so easily pigeonholed for me |

| 3x255x - not sure what to call it... Gsus4 or something? Its the opening chord to Pat Metheny - At last you're here. xx774x - F7, I really like the sound of using the 6 a half step from the b7th. Especially when comping a blues. 6xx755 - Bbmaj7#11  |

I also love the sound of the m11th on a modal tune (e.g. Dm11 at the 10th fret over a D-dorian vamp): 10-x-10-10-8-x |
Linear Mode
