I'm not sure I coulda told you what that is if he hadn't told me first...

I would call that a B7#5b9... or Amin7b5 with a B in the root, perhaps.

The so called "Hendrix" chord...the E7#9.

played between the fifth and eighth frets..bottom string to top, it would be

076780

This is a nice chord, one deep strum either way with feeling.

... in DADGAD tuning...

Yeah I have been doing som exercises, now they look like this:

I would call that an A(add9), although it has no third. It's an ambiguous stack of fifths, producing a similar effect to the sliding chord shape you get in several Hendrix songs (Castles Made of Sand most of all)...

Here's one that I've found myself using a lot lately... a common chord, but not such a common voicing:

Hi mondo: that slowed this thread down for a while, didn't it? Is that A minor, flat sixth (Amb6)?

If so, I godda admit it's not a common chord to me...

I can just about play your fingering at a stretch of my stubby fingers. But that chord (earlier) of Bluestube's? Good grief...!

OK, here's an extremely famous chord:

Hi, Ceri... heh, well, I don't casually toss it into any piece...

There's a common flamenco form that features the chords Amin, Fmaj7, C, G7 and E heavily. It's like the Spanish version of 12-bar blues, almost. Players spend a great deal of their time trying to come up with interesting ways to get from one chord to the other, and anything that throws up some possibilities of combining open strings with close-voiced chords gets used quite a bit.

I had been playing that one in quiter passages for a while and thinking of it as Amin with a flat 6th, but then I realised that it's just an Fmaj7 chord (first inversion, with the 3rd on the bottom). That Amin/Fmaj ambiguity is nice to play with.

But what I really want to know is... was that a B7#5b9 you posted before?

I don't recognise the extremely famous chord... maybe if I had a guitar handy it'd be immediately obvious... but it looks very much like a Gmin13 to me...

(And if it's any consolation, I still can't play a 13th chord with my thumb over the neck so I can reach the twiddly bits!)
