HI all.

Okay in my Noodling time I was playing around the "G" major chord (3-2-0-03-3-3) and I rolled my middle finger over to bar 6 and 5 (3-3-2-0-3-3) and then over one more to catch 4 (3-3-3-2-3-3) and got a nice progression out of it.

I used a "Chord namer" website (Jguitars.com) and it gave 5 or 7 possible names for these two chords...........

    Search for finger pattern = {3 3 2 0 3 3}: 5 results found.
    G6sus4 G 6th Suspended 4th
    Em7b13/G E/G Minor 7th Flat 13th
    Em7#5/G E/G Minor 7th Sharp 5th
    D9sus4/G D/G 9th Suspended 4th
    D7sus2sus4/G D/G 7th Suspended 2nd Suspended 4th


    arch for finger pattern = {3 3 3 2 3 3}: 7 results found.
    G9sus4 G 9th Suspended 4th
    G7sus2sus4 G 7th Suspended 2nd Suspended 4th
    C6sus2sus4/G C/G 6th Suspended 2nd Suspended 4th
    A7b13#9sus4/G A/G 7th Flat 13th Sharp 9th Suspended 4th
    A7#9sus4#5/G A/G 7th Sharp 9th Suspended 4th Sharp 5th
    Am7b13bb5/G A/G Minor 7th Flat 13th Double Flat 5th
    D7#9sus4/G D/G 7th Sharp 9th Suspended 4th

Anyway, this is what that site gave me, is this correct or is there a shorter name for these chords?

Seems like you crashed the chord namer website with that one :lol:

But they all probably mean the same chord (technically) so just pick the shortest one or make up your own abbreviated name. Once it is not a major, minor or 7th things can get hairy and ambiguous and best left to the jazz schooled musicians. For example the chord shapes for B♭sus4 and A♯sus4 are identical....barf.. just play lol.

If this is really important to you or you are curious etc try this website that says it names over 42,000 chord shapes.. http://www.hakwright.co.uk/guitarchords/index.html

I think it will help if you know the root note.

I'll take a crack at the first one.

The notes of {3 3 2 0 3 3} are GCEGDG

I'd call that a C2 with a G bass. Sometimes written C2/G I think.

Anyway, this is what that site gave me, is this correct or is there a shorter name for these chords?

The simplest names for each are the first option in each list. ( G9sus4 ) for example.
What the others indicate are other ways of describing the chord indicating voicings (the arrangement of pitches within the chord,)and inversions (the position of the root within the chord.) It can get very complex, it's been a long time since music school, so I would have to think a bit before breaking them all down.) But basically by not having the root note be the lowest note in a chord you get different names for the same fingering.

Rearranging the tones offers differences too.

That's what I'd call it too. Sounds very good on a 12-string in a G-C-D three chord trick.

I agree with previous comments in that chords don't always have to have a single root name. You can give them compound names.
I would call 332033 Cadd9/G - meaning Cadd9 with a G root. (C2 works as well I guess)

The other one, 333233, is a little trickier. I would call it G9sus4. That is .... I would call it that if I could figure out how to fret it. For the moment I call it unplayable. :wink:

For the second one, 333233, the notes are GCFADG.

FAC is the major F triad, So how about F69, to keep it simple?!?

I wouldn't call it a G of any kind because it doesn't have the third.

Index finger on ---2-- (or half-barre on ---222), impudicus on ----33, and thumb barre on 333---? Works for me.


Of course, John Petrucci might play it as 3-3-2-15-15

It really isn't that hard at all.
1st finger on the third string second fret.
Bar your middle finger across the 6, 5 & 4 at the third fret.
Ring finger on the 2nd string third fret.
And your pinky on the 1st string at the third fret.

That is exactly the way I tried to play that chord when I first read your post and it was a disaster. Then again I can be a lazy player when it comes to chords so if I really needed that chord for something would find a cheat. There is ALWAYS a cheat.

Cheat: Get a Brad Paisley guitar, then tune and play everything except that chord with the G-bender active.

Me, I prefer to use a thumb bar. Big hands make alternative chording easier (and some regular chords near impossible).

First one could be a Cadd9/G, second one could be F6add9/G or F(6/9)/G, ugh I can't type smaller numerals to the upper right of the screen so.... :|

I wouldn't call it a C2 because the D is obviously the ninth note in the scale. I think I've seen a C2 in sheet music before but it was only a C played in unison with a D followed by passing notes. :wink:

Hey there are some chords that don't have the third, namely power chords! :P Also, there are 7th chords that omit the 3rd! :P
