Jaclyn

I'm assumin that thats sum kinda private joke that no one except mark n helen are gonna get??

stetler

ok, the story goes that Sparky was teaching me what all the notes are on each string. He was like "E - Em - F...Gm - then what comes next?" and I said, "H!" so thats kinda where the joke comes from and the A cord is now my magic H cord!

sparticus

*cough* you mean E, F, F#, G, G#*cough*

Alasdair

Deary deary me

stoobs

hahaha

sparticus

the worst thing is, she's better than me.

Jaclyn

ok....i think u had to be there.

David

actually i think F Diminished 7th is the best chord. especially on an old acoustic. has a nice cheery tone to it, and uses all the strings!!!

stetler

hey gimme a break, I haven't even had the guitar a week! (but i can almost play 'the times they are a changin' (bob dylan rocks!!)

sparticus

Nah you're wrong, the best chord is obviously G. Just because it's so G like. Everyone likes G!
That said, I feel that G#/Ab9 (possibly properly known by some other name)is a pretty excellent Chord.

kiwi

Ab9 with a G# in the bass is also know as G#9

stoobs

why play chords, when you can play solos

Jaclyn

Well i think someones been spendin too much time with ian.

lardpony

actually the best chord in the world is F major 7th.

and in some european countries they replace the note B with H, I have no idea why.

steph

nah, the best chord ever is the E-something that goes (from the top string) 0,0,9,9,7,0. best played loud.

Jaclyn

There are no best chords there are just different chords. You've offended some of them sayin others are better. I mean honestly. Hav some respect people.

sparticus

There are best chords! I like Fmaj7 but not as much as I like Dm7, which comes in just after standard Dm which is of course number 2 in my list of all time favourite chords. This E that steph speaks of sounds fun, but not as good as the equivilant drop D version of that chord. Also play a standard D in drop D tuning but play the two bottom strings open. Mondo excellent.

Jaclyn

Some people hav too much time.

David

actually, that's just a power chord steph. you must mute the open strings and thrash your guitar for maximum sound.
