Members philbo Posted July 23, 2011 Members Share Posted July 23, 2011 I don't know the proper name for this one, but it's a great transitional chord for the Em or G key. It's B E A D F#, in order of ascending pitch. I suppose the name would depend on the bass note with it. It could be Bm7sus4, or E9sus4, or A6sus4+9, or D6+9... whatever.. In the song I use it in, it would be the one with the B root. On a guitar, it a barre on the 2nd fret, and a single finger on the 3rd fret of the B string, with the low E string muted.

Members roomjello Posted July 23, 2011 Author Members Share Posted July 23, 2011 To keep things simple i would choose to call it D6 or D/B.Funkier without the E and will distort better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members blue2blue Posted July 23, 2011 Members Share Posted July 23, 2011 I had to make a conscious effort to keep Am9/E* out of my turnarounds for some time. It still draws me like a siren to its rocky smooth, sandy shores. *None of those, however, are the inversion I play. You'll have to come see me play (ha, catch me if you can) to see how I play it. It can also be spelled 7add6/E, and Emadd4addC. (But you still won't find my favored inversion there.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DMaj7#5 sounds nice when the #5 resolves to 5 (A). Or the Maj7 resolves to a "D". Try a Dominant 7th#5#9. One of my favorites. John:cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members koolkat Posted July 29, 2011 Members Share Posted July 29, 2011 I love this voicing for an A minor 11 chord: X O 9 5 8 10 ...it's a bit of a stretch, but a great sounding chord, once you finally get there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Huh? Posted July 31, 2011 Members Share Posted July 31, 2011 I don't know the proper name for this one.......It's B E A D F#, in order of ascending pitch. Yeah, this chord voicing is used a lot, especially by modern jazz, fusion guitar players etc.....players like Stern, Scofield, McLaughlin, Metheny.....well, everybody. I personally might tend to think of this chord as a min11th though. In a suspended 4th chord the 3rd is generally omitted and replaced with the P4th and there is a strong pull to resolve back to the maj3rd. In a minor chord, you definitely want the min3rd interval in the chord to establish it as minor. In the case of this voicing the chord has both the intervals of the min 3rd and the P4th.......which makes me lean towards it being Min 11th......even though the 4th is not voiced an octave above the min3rd. Which is how you would normally voice a min11th chord. Staying with a B root, try this min11th voicing..... 7X775X. (low to high) Now play that chord right after......X22232 and see how they sound next to each other. Very similar. In the voicing you posted, if you played the open 1st string instead of the F# on the 2nd fret, it would be virtually identical. This is a great chord to do chord comping with.......little stabs all up and down the neck like outside horn section parts. I love this chord. I use the hell out of it and it never gets old.......and with this one very simple voicing, it can sound like you are just tearing up some chord improvisation.

Thanks; I didn't think of the E being an 11th, but that's exactly right! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
