weird or beautiful guitar chords
 

Im a huge fan of weird chords or chords that just sound beautiful. Anyone know any good ones? :satan:

Bro. Modal chords are the best.

C major

No, Dm the most saddest key of them all.

i really like how Fmaj7 sounds
or 9th chords
or an inverted sus4 chord with the 4 in the bass(a powerchord ith a ninth added)

minor 7add9

It really is.

Some of my favorites are Cm9, Cm7, C major 9, C6, and Badd11

I quite like _12 chords.

-10
-10
-12
-16
-14
-0

Voicing: R 5 9 b3 11 7

Diminished chords are fun.

I like M7 and m7, although a little cliche.
I also like Sus2 chords. I think they are the best.
add6 chords are very "Green hill happy" if you know what i mean.

One sonority that I think is really beautiful and totally underutilized is 7sus4(add3). A good way to voice it is a normal 7sus4 chord with the added 3 on top (doing the opposite - a normal 7 chord with the sus4 on top - would give you a nasty sounding b9 and obscure a lot of the chord sound). Doing this makes you hear the 3 as a tension ("tension 10" if you will) and the sus4 as a basic chord tone. Alternatively, you can place the 3 and sus4 right next to each other, which will give you a b2 rub, which can be very nice sometimes. Here's a basic example, spelled from the bottom up:
D7sus4(add3)
D G C F#

A Form 2, Drop 2 voicing will give a similar result with a b2 interval. 1st inversion maj7 chords.

I personally like stuff with lots of open strings, something like



Those being Em7, Cadd2 and Dsus2sus4... I think.

Em7add11

Em6add9

I love this one
e:12
B:10
G:11
D:9

Hendrix chord (Root, M3, M7, m3

e--x
b--8
G--7
D--6
A--7
E--x

This is my secret weapon. I use instead of octaves for weird results :

EADGbe:x7896x ( intervals R,b5,8,b9 )

This is a more classy chord.

Am(maj7)add 9
EADGBe:x06557
