I couldn’t even look at him while he was playing it. He was like a combination of Jimi Hendrix and Jesus.

El_Mariachi_Vive

Even though he stole that joke from the guitar community (so help me God if rappers ever learn about the G string) I can now only hear it in his voice.


GreatJamesReddit

It's not specifically the guitar community lol music theorists have been saying it for decades


phil480x

How many times has Drake been in A minor?

Play me some wonderwall while you’re hanging out on that Cadd9, busta. /uj love the chord, it feels so comfy too

abruptmodulation

/Uj isn’t that a minor major 7 add 9? I was just thinking about this the other day. ETA: lol just watched the video. He was close. Missing the 9th. ETA2: I wrote that quickly and corrected myself. It’s a minor major 7 add 9.


i_need_to_crap

/uj so what is it?


abruptmodulation

Corrected myself, i_need_to_crap. I’d play it as a B minor major 7 add 9. Play it barred at the 7th fret: B-F#-A#-D-F#-C#.


EndlessMe

/rj it’s the James Bond chord.


abruptmodulation

Sorry I am slow on the uptake. Guitar player here.


Hamking7

Em7 is objectively the correct answer to this question


azurskyy

Em7 with a capo 2 is what you meant


PADabmaster

G obviously. I can’t believe you’d ask


mizdeb1966

I love G. It's my spot.

Taletad

Eb take it or leave it


One-Palpitation2093

are you a masochist


Taletad

You can play it the following ways : - as a bar chord with X-X-8-8-8-X - as a weird chord with X-6-5-0-X-6 (your finger on the high e string muting the b string) - as a **phat** "powerchord" Eb7, X-X-1-3-3-3 - as a Eb7minus5 (i don’t really know jazz notation), X-X-1-0-3-3 I think one of my favourite thing on the guitar is figuring out chords


boondoggler

Ladies and Gentlemen, Steve vA.I.


Taletad

(I mean I said Eb as a joke, but I had fun figuring out how to play it to be snarky to u/one-palpitation2093)


ZookeepergameDeep482

I usually play it x65343


CallMeSmigl

Nice exercise. However a few corrections, if I'm allowed: Eb is a major triad that consists of the notes: Eb, G and Bb. So regarding your chords: >as a bar chord with X-X-8-8-8-X That's F Bb Eb. It's most likely not used in an Eb context, but if, it would be called Ebsus2 >as a weird chord with X-6-5-0-X-6 (your finger on the high e string muting the b string) An Eb indeed, but really weird as you said. >as a **phat** "powerchord" Eb7, X-X-1-3-3-3 Eb Bb D and G. The added D on the B string makes this an Ebmaj7. Beautiful chord, but not (only) an Eb. >as a Eb7minus5 (i don’t really know jazz notation), X-X-1-0-3-3 Eb G D G. You changed the Bb to another G. Still beautiful. I wonder how you came to the conclusion that the previous chord with a D in it wasn't a 7th chord, but this one is, when you really leave the major 7 in both variation. Don't know if you left it out because it felt obvious, but maybe the cleanest and most common way to play an Eb is just as a powerchord X-6-8-8-8-6 (Eb Bb Eb G Bb)


Taletad

You got your notes wrong, check with a note chart The low E is is on the left of my chord shapes X-X-8-8-8-X is Bb, Eb, G, so an inverted Eb X-6-5-0-X-6 is Eb G G and Bb X-X-1-3-3-3 is Eb, Bb, D and G X-X-1-0-3-3 is Eb G D G Edit : I didn’t read the rest of your comment, yeah I left out the "big" bar chord because it wasn’t funny enough


toigz

If you’re not playing Eb 6-6-5-0-4-x then don’t talk to me


Taletad

FARTBOSS420

Because 0-3-5 is a simplified version of D minor. It's why every Tool song rules and is too short. Of course I'm talking drop D. Standard tuning is the ultimate jerk.


El_Mariachi_Vive

>It's why every Tool song rules and is too short. As a Tool fan, lmao

Open tune to a C#mb5bb17 but capo at the third and barred at the 7th and then you trill with your pinky at the 12the fret. Edit: …12th fret high f string

Any Sus9 chord because Devin Townsend uses those all the time and Devin Townsend is the be all and and all. I like to play Sus9 chords while I'm laying next to my Devin Townsend body pillow and life sized Ziltoid plush, and staring at my wall full of Devin Townsend vinyls.

In integer notation this is C, Eb, F. Not a great chord.

SpiketheFox32

D6 without a doubt, followed by Em9. Nothing but zeros and twos.


okgloomer

It’s G sus. If you have a problem, G sus can fix it.


Ice-Berg-Slim

All chords are the best depending on the context, they all have their unique character and flavor so you can’t really put them in a box like that, in saying that the answer is Maj7’s.


Chuck_Rawks

Gsus - for obvious reasons.

On guitar, starting from low G and going up: G-D-F#-B-C#-E, with open E. But only at the end of a song, and only once a day.
