D no 3rd add4,  D(no 3rd)add 11,  A(no3rd) add 9, A(no3rd)add 11, Bm7flat 5(sorry, there's no flat symbol on my keyboard) A7 no 3rd.

May have more later.  Thanks to anybody who knows how these would be diagrammed.

EADGBE = strings BASS(left) thru TREBLE(right)

X00233 = D no 3rd add4

X00213 = D no 3rd add11

X02200 = A no 3rd add9

X02233 = A no 3rd add11

X2323X = Bm7-5

X02203 = A7 no 3 (A9?)

..if you'd like to know "how" each chord was "created" just let me know and I'll explain.



NOTE: usually "# or +" denote sharp and "b or -" denote flat, ie: G7flat9 = G7b9 = G7-9, etc.

thanks.  This helps a lot.

How WERE these chords created, btw?

...the chords are created using (A) the scale DEGREES and (B) the standard CAGED "D" and "A" chord shapes.

A) The scale DEGREES in key of C are:

I = C (root)
II = D (2nd or 9th)
III = E (3rd)
IV = F (4th or 11th)
V = G (5th)
VI = A (6th or 13th)
VII = B (major 7th)

B) the "simplest" chord is a TRIAD, consisting of ROOT, 3rd and 5th notes (notice how they're "everyother" note from the scale!), hence:

...C-triad notes are C (root), E (3rd) and G (5th)
...D-triad notes are D (R), F#(3) and A(5)
...or you can do it the "simple" way.

D-triad
E__A__D__G__B__E <---strings, left-to-right: E6 bass through E1 treble
X__0__0__2__3__2 <---fretted note positions
x__5__R__5__R__3 <---D-triad DEGREES

...to "make" a Major7th note, lower the Root-note on the B-string a 1/2-step (1 fret):

DM7
E__A__D__G__B__E <---strings, left-to-right: E6 bass through E1 treble
X__0__0__2__2__2 <---fretted note positions
x__5__R__5_M7__3 <---D-triad DEGREES

...to "make" a dominant7th note, lower the Root-note on the B-string a full-step (2 frets):

D7
E__A__D__G__B__E <---strings, left-to-right: E6 bass through E1 treble
X__0__0__2__1__2 <---fretted note positions
x__5__R__5__7__3 <---D-triad DEGREES

...to "make" an 11th chord, raise the 3rd-note up to 4th-degree on the treble E-string 1/2-step:

D11 = D(7 and 4)
E__A__D__G__B__E <---strings, left-to-right: E6 bass through E1 treble
X__0__0__2__1__3 <---fretted note positions
x__5__R__5__7__4 <---D-triad DEGREES

...does this make any sense to you?

...anybody else here interested in learning one way (there are many, many others) of "making" fancy, advanced chords from basic triad and dominant 7 chords? I am willing to explain my method if there's an interest.

I am for one Old Tele Man...I'm getting some of what you are showing in the diagrams so if it follows that pretty closely I should be ok. Hopefully if I have questions I'll be able to ask them the right way. 

Thanks for the good help !

GuitarZen--what chord-shape do YOU use most often (E, A, D, C, G)? That's the one we'll start with, OK?

...and, maybe we should start a "new" posting just for each different chord shape?

Happy New Year OTM (hope that's ok)...well I'm thinking G...I strum a lot of Bob Dylan songs and I'm doing fairly well. So yes,  G will be fine for a start and hey, good idea, starting a new post for each chord shape. Man, I gotta tell you...this is great ! I'm 60 and I've wanted to get it going with guitar for many years and now finally I have the time and also a way ! You and chordbook.com just rock de house !  : ))

Best regards,
