On keyboards, it's a difficult choice between D7 and Daug.

Is this a "favorite chord" or a "favorite guitar chord" thread?

― uNi-tArDs (Hurting 2), Monday, 26 July 2010 19:47 (sixteen years ago)

peter buck had this great thing about how a bunch of the early r.e.m. songs started on a because it's the only chord he really liked.

― call all destroyer, Monday, 26 July 2010 19:47 (sixteen years ago)

i care abt partic progressions, but a chord by itself is kinda weird. I will rep for bmaj7 tho

OMG I LOVE AUG/DIM/SUS CHORD shit nowadays?

ALL you have to DO is raise the 3rd and 5th by a semitone and add the 7th and 9th and 11th and stand on your head and allow a moonbeam to fall across the keyboard while reciting the alphabet backwards it's not HARD come ON people!!!

Is everyone here who names a specific chord also thinking of a specific instrument or temperament, or are you actually most attracted to that chord at a particular frequency?

I mean, I could say that maj7 chords are my favorites in general. But I could only answer "Cmaj7" or "Dmaj7" if I were thinking of, say, open chords played on a guitar in standard tuning.

― oɔsıqɐu (nabisco), Monday, 26 July 2010 21:33 (sixteen years ago)

Oh wait, it can't be "a particular frequency" unless you're naming an octave, too

― oɔsıqɐu (nabisco), Monday, 26 July 2010 21:33 (sixteen years ago)

It seems like most people are describing particular guitar chords, mostly in open position, which irks me slightly. There are a whole bunch of other Am chords on a guitar you guys.

― uNi-tArDs (Hurting 2), Monday, 26 July 2010 22:21 (sixteen years ago)

Guys, you can play F#dim on the guitar with three finger, if you barre the ones marked as 1 and 2 here:

http://www.play-acoustic-guitar.com/images/Cdim-Ultimate-Guitar-Chords.png

Happily, the same chord acts as Ebdim, Adim and C dim. And if you slide it fret by fret, you can hit the diminished chord for every key.

That's why I love it: One chord shape, within the space of three frets, acts as the diatonic VII for all 12 major keys.

i love both Em and Am (guitar, standard tuning). i think Em's warmer, Am's darker. i like a lot of major 7ths too. and A6 is pretty sweet.

What's that one where you play a B barre chord but you leave the top E string open? That.

I just found a cool jazzy "math pop" band that hits a lot of major seventh chords
The Ancient Greeks
The singer is kind of annoying but the instrumentation is excellent
"Approximately one hour's worth of the greatest, lushly-orchestrated, frenetic "math-pop" you'll ever lay ears upon. Recommended if you like The Sea & Cake, The Replacements, Tahiti 80, Owls, and Tortoise."

I don't really have a preference for specific keys, they're all equal in my ears. But major chords w/both 6ths and flat 7ths always get me. And if you had a # 4th, well then I have to find you and marry you.
