"Guitar players....let's talk chords."


          

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?
