    Whats your favourite chord (guitar chord)

    Mine is probably either:

    Am - because it's easy and it's kinda sad sounding and great to pluck.
    or
    Cadd9(x32033) - Great version of C to be played when G follows or preceeds.

    Ye, I've been kicking into the sus2 chords for ages, it's starting to get on my nips actually. I used to be into the minor 7ths but I feel myself moving into the major 7ths now.

    Favourite chord would have to be...

    E-0
    B-5
    G-0
    D-6
    A-7
    E-0

    I don't know what it is technically but I call it the E majmin. It feels dead spooky, I wrote a spooky song with it. Great played with the min7th note and the F# note on the b string

    So is that chord just C moved up 4 frets?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 35,522 ✭✭✭✭Gordon
