Gilliangirl Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 My friend Craig bought me the latest Chip Taylor CD.... Chip Taylor & Carrie Rodriguez LIVE from the Ruhr Triennale. It's a great CD! Anyway, I'm trying to learn a few songs off it and am struggling with some of those chords that ya know are close but not quite right. So, I'm experimenting and I find a really close one..... X00220. Anyone know if that's even a chord? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rocket88 Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 yeh thats true but open D note added to an A chord will make a true suspended 4th.In theory your (reply A sus 4 )is really an A with an added 11,but cause theres no third its still called suspended........Similar thing different octaves.Any easier ????

Let me know if find out.  [/quote'] Hi Layla,  Yes, it's in standard tuning. It's one finger short of an A chord! Sometimes if I can't get the right sound, I'll start messing around with the chord, moving fingers this way and that, dropping notes, etc. That's why I found this one, which fits in the song, but didn't know if it had a name or not.

rar Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 Gilliangirl, Â I think you need to be a little careful when using that Web site. I'm no expert on theory, but, in practice, you can't ignore the function and context of the chord when trying to determine what it "is". For example, in this case, you could look at this as an A major chord (A-C#-E) with an added 4th (D). If the 4th (D) replaced the 3rd (C#), you'd have an Asus4. If this discordant little chord "resolves to an A" , it might be natural to think of it as functioning as some sort of A -- maybe you could call it an A4? -- especially if that D is just in there because it's a melody note (say, in the middle of a run from the A on the open fifth string up to the E on the fourth string).

rocket88 Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 i still think of it as a sort of asus 4 or a4......Dmaj9no third/A would be tecnically correct,,,,,Depends what key your in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[b']X00220[/b]. Anyone know if that's even a chord? Â What rar says is very true. The proper name for the chord will depend very much on the musical context. Â Likely candidates are DM9 or A/D (i.e. "D major ninth" or "A over D"). A/D can work as a D11, as well, although there's no third in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thermionik Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 . . Aaah Karen - that chord is called Albert, though friends usually just call him Al. His mother and father call him Bert. This explains why he rarely talks to them. . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

albertjohn Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 Would it not be Dmaj7 add 9 over A? Â On second thoughts, I like Albert. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daylightrobbery Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 I'd call it Dmaj7sus2- or Bert. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidbg63 Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 I have to agree with rar and others. The chords especially m9th, sus4th etc.... Are dependent on the key of the song and the progression. However if it fits and sounds good...... call it whatever you like! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thermionik Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 . Yeah - thanks Karen for starting this thread all those months ago in December 2007. We all though it fizzled out a few days later on January 1st 2008..... .....but a year and ten months later it's still going strong. They call it Albert, and it is good. Power Chord (not). .
