What's your favorite chord?

[MaxMaps]

AAAAAE

This for the win

oh and Dmaj7

its always sounds the best to me on z bass

[Eric!]

i'm not very good at theory, so here's a few that don't actually exist.
2xx341
x07607
576800
324030
3x0203

LOVE THEM ALL.

Also tried a x07647 just now, dug it

[elbandito]

the flat 5!!

also, 7ths, 11ths and 13. I love suspended chord sounds, augmented and diminished chords too. Basically anything that's not your regular 5ths in major or minors.

[Gearmond]

AAAAAE

any relation to the The Fonz chord? AEEEEE

[StudioShutIn]

Some chords I've been messing around with lately are

fmaj7#11 (already mentioned in the thread, it's 133200
F#7add4 (or add11...it's the same as above, but up a half step 244300)

Here's another kind of interesting progression I was messing around with in C#AC#EAC# (A/C# tuning)

044444 x77777 x4354x x6576x

this should give you a C#/E/A/B progression. I don't have my guitar in this tuning anymore..so if somebody could double-check this to see if I got it right..it'd be appreciated

We've had quite a few of these threads before, here is my standard answer.

One of my favorites is used a lot in the Deftones' "Root", which is an E maj 7 flat 5. Sometimes I actually tune my guitar to this chord (it's also cool because it has the "devil's interval" in it):

Isn't that an Emi7 flat5? Not trying to be snooty, just trying to see if I know any theory at all ever..

The Cadd9 shape is cool to do that with too. So

-76070 and -54050

I've been fond of Em7 lately, as well as whatever C-type chord this is: x32000
