Hey guys. Haven't been on here much lately but began writing a song and formed a chord that I do not know the name of. The spelling is....1-5-6-7 if the chord was a form of (G). But I'll just tab it out to save the confusion

E  2
B  3
G  O
D  2
A  O
E  X

I was thinking that it was some sort of G over the A (G???/A).  G  D  E  F#  /  (A) are the notes if it is a G.

It sounds great when you resolve the F# to a G :p

Thanks for the help in advance

lol if its in G then its some sort of G major 13 7th add 2 or summat =P

awesome chord though. i like it.

ha, yeah i'm not sure but it sounds great in the song lol. typical "i-don't-know-what-i'm-playing-but-it-sounds-good" chord.

oh well. i really need to dive deeper in theory!

thanks

I like the X 0 2 0 3 2  when named Dsus4(add-9). This because the X 0 2 0 3 3 resolution becomes Dsus4(add9) and I couldn't find the X 0 2 0 3 2 called out here in chordbook. Might have looked around at chord spellers elsewhere but I think these names do ok. Anybody else?

Cheers,

...with that open A5 string, it doesn't overtly look like a member of the G-chord family, but rather more like an A13 chord, like this:

E  2 = 6/13th
B  3 = 4/11th
G  0 = dom.7th
D  2 = 5th
A  0 = Root
E  x

...however, it could also be G major 13th (GM13) with the 3rd omitted, like this:

E  2 = Maj7th
B  3 = 5th
G  0 = Root
D  2 = 6/13th
A  0 = 2/9th
E  x = not played
