Personally if I was to play the chord in isolation and try to make people think of bond I'd add the e as it just doesn't sound like bond without the tune before it.

Fantastic film composer. I really never realized he was the James Bond guy. We listened to Out of Africa and Dances With Wolves for years though.

Another good (and a bit easier) voicing is:

(BTW: Is there a better character to use for the finger stops?)
An excellent chord for that 'sinister' effect!
Hope that helps!

I'm just bummed that so many years later we've still never gotten the right answer to this question.

Am I allowed to mention The Beatles used the m +5 6 groove to great effect in Hey Bulldog over two minor chords ? !
James Bond groove fans check it out!

just watched Skyfall yesterday and i was all fired up to learn me how to do some stealthy spy chording. thanks for the great thread. and thank you Mr. Beaumont for the laughs and the great chord!
very cool & fun.

Is it too late to add to the confusion?
If you just want fingerings for the chord type and don't care that much about the exact voicing, you might do well with the following three easy voicings for Em/maj7 and/or Em69 on the 1st 4 strings:
2 7 11
2 7 12
4 6 12
5 5 11
All of the pitches in this type of chord come from the E Jazz Melodic Scale:

Haha I always mention this point of reference when showing the minmaj7 chord to students, always raises a chuckle!
-
Interesting I alway knew the mi MA7 as the Soap Opera chord. "Will she live???" strum the chord, "tune in tomorrow" tap a 9th on top.
-
I hope now that this thread is back we can finally figure out what the chord is.

Hi guys,
I am new to the site and am enjoying the comments i have read so far. This James Bond theme is quite intriguing the opening chords are what exactly???, please.

- although it's in Em, not Am. Works best (or easiest anyway) like this, IMO:

Pick out the 5th fret notes and then strum, if you want.

...but what I want to know is Stravinsky's Rite of Spring chord?
There are two chords known as the Augur’s chords from The Rite of Spring.
Both are a double-chord. The first consists of an E major below an Eb Dominant Seventh. To play, difficult on guitar, probably need two or more guitar players but easy on piano, E-Ab-B-E-G-Bb-C#-Eb:
The second, is an A major below an Eb Dominant Seventh, A-C#-E-G-Bb-C#-Eb.
By the way, The Bond Chord is, as Mr Beaumont says Em/maj9 or, as I have always known it, Emin9maj7.
Music is the key that can open strange rooms in the house of memory.Llewelyn Wyn Griffith

The james bonc chor is a minor triad with a raised 5th....which then moves to the 6th....
usually in a line like Eminor, Eminor#5, Eminor6
-
I always heard my company's chord as: A C E F# B
depending on the song, either the fifth or ninth on the top.
