albertjohn Posted October 6, 2008 Posted October 6, 2008 I don't wish to dumb down the forum but, Onewilyfool's James Taylor string got me thinking. He uses D/E quite abit (that's D over a bottom E bass). Very simple but I love that chord. Another favourite of mine is D9/F#. Pete Townshend uses it a fair bit.
L5Larry Posted October 6, 2008 Posted October 6, 2008 A Major 7th chord played anywhere, in any form.
albertjohn Posted October 6, 2008 Author Posted October 6, 2008 022033 Wish You Were Here Good call. How about 079900 which is a sort of E.............. well just E. It has no 3rd! Dave Grohl uses this one in the opening bars of But Honestly. Move the g string to an 8 afterwards for a great E7. Try it on your 12 string and you'll be a convert....well probably!
jefleppard Posted October 6, 2008 Posted October 6, 2008 wait a minute! what i really wanted to say was.... E anywhere anytime any place with any one.. E
jefleppard Posted October 6, 2008 Posted October 6, 2008 A Major 7th chord played anywhere' date=' in any form.[/quote'] larry, try this one. (if you havent already) my fave maj7th-ish - 006600 i like to alternate it with 046600, lifting the bass note off and on. makes a nice progression 046600, 006600 and 1st position E.
L5Larry Posted October 6, 2008 Posted October 6, 2008 larry' date=' try this one. (if you havent already) my fave maj7th-ish - 006600.[/quote'] Nice, it's got a beautiful ring to it. There are so many fun two and three string open cords in that area of the neck, it could be a topic all it's own, and go on for ever, "open chords between frets 4 & 8, only three fingers allowed".
jefleppard Posted October 6, 2008 Posted October 6, 2008 play each line in sucession.... 007600, 7x9800, 0,0,14,13,0,0 x00760 (Dm -sounds of silence), 6x0760 (Bb-esque), 8xx980, 007980 (A7) 007900, x87900 the chords with the 6th string fretted are played easiest with the naughty wrap around thumb.
TWilson Posted October 6, 2008 Posted October 6, 2008 wait a minute! what i really wanted to say was.... E anywhere anytime any place with any one.. E Hey' date=' Cunk, that big, full E chord really sounds great on my SJ-200!![/color']

onewilyfool Posted October 6, 2008 Posted October 6, 2008 Hey....I'm writing down all these chords.....lol. My favorite is CM7 or 332000, just a sweet chord.....great link !!!

Thermionik Posted October 7, 2008 Posted October 7, 2008 7#9 - or Seventh, raised Ninth - in any key. A favourite of jazz players, you can hear this chord in (amongst innumerable others): Igor Stravinsky - last chord of "The Ebony Concerto" Charlie Parker - "All the Things You Are" Charles Mingus - first chord of "Goodbye Pork Pie Hat" John Coltrane - "Blue Train" Beatles - chorus of "You Can't Do That", "Taxman", opening "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (Reprise)" Cream - "I Feel Free" Steely Dan - "Kid Charlemagne" Stevie Ray Vaughan - "Mary Had a Little Lamb" and, last rather than least, Jimi Hendrix - ad nauseum, until it got called the Purple Chord.....

For me it would be a Dave Grohl Fest!! You can have this one for free. X50505 alt with X00505. Opening bars of "Times Like These" electric version ( another Foo Fighters song) No idea what it is - it shouldn't work but sounds great. D7add6?
JOESTONE Posted October 7, 2008 Posted October 7, 2008 022033 is one I'm quite fond of as well. Mentioned before.
magnucifer Posted October 7, 2008 Posted October 7, 2008 E add9, (024100). I just love that chord. -Magnus
Thermionik Posted October 7, 2008 Posted October 7, 2008 TWilson asked what the fingering was for 7#9..... Well - I play it like the classic B7th position with my pinky one fret up on the next string, like this: e x B- - - - - - - - o G- - - - - - - o D- - - - - - o A- - - - - - - 0 root E x .....and if the root is on the 7th fret - you can let the two E's sound as well. But like all guitar chords - there are many, many ways to play it.

What am I missing here. ( I say that a lot, by the way! ) lol
