Spinning off from Joe Corn's post. I'm guessing this post might not get any replies...but it's worth a shot.
Here's my faves that I probly use way too much. If anyone can help with some theory (chord names/explanations) I'm all ears. Hopefully my tab is self-explanatory:
All time fave:
X 0 2 4 1 3
Kinda tuff to play for beginners. But it's friggin awesome. I've frusterated songwriters by insisting on playing it whenever they call for A minor. lol.
A similar one but a little easier in E:
0 2 4 0 3 0
I have a couple songs I wrote that is based on this chord while moving the root around. You can do: 0 2 4 0 3 0 0 3 4 0 3 0 x 0 4 0 3 0 3 2 4 0 3 0 2 2 4 0 3 0 etc etc etc
This one's kinda deep:
3 5 4 7 x x
This one sounds like a dungeon. Adding in the high E throws it for a loop:
3 1 0 4 4 0
I return to this one alot if I'm writing Jazz:
x x 5 6 6 8
So a chord progression using a couple of them that I used to jam on with my band 20 years ago went like this:
x 0 2 4 1 3 x x 5 6 6 8 x 5 4 4 5 5
Anyone got any faves to add? 0r theoretical explanations for why I like these so much?
