 Guitarists,post a cool chord or two

Something exotic,jazzy or funky if you have them. I think this would be beneficial to everyone because your playing can always get stale or your creativity can run dry.
Sorry but I don't know the names.

They are nice chillout kind of chords and sound good up the neck as well.

I like the 7 chords.
B7 is great.

The string that's skipped can most of the time be muted by another finger that's holding down a note.
Or else you'd be fingerpicking.

Here,you're middle finger is covering the A string so it's muted.

B Half Diminished

Generally the chord above I use as a minor 9th (iv) chord, it's a lot spicier than the minor 7 and fits inside a pentatonic scale nicely.
A Add 9
7B
10A 9G# 8G
9E
7A
0A
0E x (omit if desired)
The above chord is a base form that I modify to provide Maj7 add 9 or Dominant 7 add 9 chords. I like the voicing though, and I like to use the movable form of it by muting the E and A strings.
F maj7
5A
5E
5C
3F
x A
x E
The above is a movable voicing, but whats great about it in the F position is the inversion you can get by simply playing the open E and A strings, it's a big fat chord that makes moving to either A minor or E minor VERY easy. The movable voicing is also really handy for jazz, especially if you are playing with another guitarist
C Aug 4
8C
8G#
9E
10C
8F
8C
I love that chord, it's in barre form here, and resolves nicely to the next chord.
B(Q)
7B
7F#
9E
7A
7E
7B
Quartal harmonies are something I started using to avoid tritone dissonance, this particular tone cluster is a movable shape. The F# is usually omitted so that the harmony remains diatonic, however this is not always necessary, since several compatible scales also contain the F#.
Well folks thats about what I time to post right now, I'l come back and post up some other unusual voicings and chords later.

That E7 chord is a nice one, try adding the 9 on to it sometime, it's nice and fat:
0
7
7
6
7
0
Or if you like some feel good fatness, make it a #9:
E7#9
0 (or x)
8
7
6
7
0
They are both movable chord forms, so you can use them all over the fret board.
Here's the voicing formula:
x
octave, ninth, or sharp ninth
minor seven
third
root
x

Ooooo I love this thread
0 ->x-> ->0->x
10->7-> ->2->x
13->8-> ->4->x
11->6->4-> ->4
0 -> 4->2-> ->4
x -> x->0-> ->4
This was in drop C so the notes on the E string may sound a little odd

I like this one, it works well in between changes from a A maj to F#m for example.. or
4
6
4
6
5
x
that one is just like a C#7, but with the low C# moved up to D. I think its D diminished something, but i cant remember if its diminished or augmented. this can be moved around the neck to accommodate the key you're using. its awesome in a progression like:
F#m C#7 (any position will do)
2 4 2 4 2 4 9
2 6 2 6 2 6 9
2 4 2 4 2 4 10
4 6 4 6 4 6 11
4 5 4 5 4 5 11
2 x 2 x 2 x 9

X--X--X
5--X--X
5--4--2
5--5--3
X--5--3
X--X--X
Bottom E string can be left open for first 2 cords for a nice ring but must be muted for third chord.
Lots of variations get a different feel, jack and diane, red hot chili peppers, whatever.
Another variation on the same theme that sounds a lot more punk:
X--X--X--X
5--X--X--X
5--6--2--4
5--7--3--5
X--7--3--5
X--X--X--X
Taking this down the neck can mean alternations between:
X X
2 A X
2 N 1
2 D 2
X 2
X X
A very low down country blues when hammered on between each chord change and either chord slid up like so:
X X--X X X
X 2--X X X
0/2--X 1//4
0/2--0/2//5
X X--0/2//5
X X--X X X
/ = slide
Apologies for the terrible "tablature".
A final favorite expressive chord change I noodle with is along these lines:
2--2
3--3
2--0
0--0
X--X
X--X
Allow that simple transition to change the chording of the following hammered on and pulled off finger notes on the E string (be quick with the open E string because it is dissonant with the steady drone of the fretted B string)
2-3-2-0-2 change chord by opening G string as shown above and repeat
kind of a "petty's free falling" feel.
finally, in the same spirit of that chord comes the one I call the Jim Croce chord because it is finger picked at the end of "Time in a Bottle". anything you can do with the D and Dmin (IIRCI) chord above you can do with this chord (Fmin?):
1
3
2
0
X
X
Same trick of opening the G string sounds good and can push a repeating hammered on and pulled off sequence on the E string.

this is one of my favorites to use, takes some stretching exercises but you get used to it and the fingering for quick changes after a while. in progression
E||------------------|
B||------------------|
G||--6--6--6--3----------|
D||--7--9--9--4----------|
A||--7--7--7--4---------|
E||--5--4--3--2---------|
first chord 7 downstokes, followed by two string muted swipes (xx), and same pattern for the other chords and you have part of my song

try this mellow funky chill out chords: use your own rhythm
1 2 3 4 3 5
--x-- --x-- ---x-- --x-- ---x-- --x--
-11-- --6-- --5/6- --x-- --5/6- --9--
-10-- --5-- --5/6- --5-- --5/6- --8--
-11-- --6-- --4/5- --6-- --4/5- --6--
--9-- --4-- --5/6- --6-- --5/6- --6--
--x-- --x-- ---x-- --4-- ---x-- --x--
they go together pretty nice
i reapeat first two twice then go on to third one and hold on to that for a while, sliding constantly, then fourth i do short, back to third and the last one is short. use a funky rhythm, i like to do this a lot:
--x--x--

I wrote a song, no lyrics yet but here's the chords.
Intro/Verse
Dm, C, F barred, B flat x3
Transition:
Dm, C, F Barred, B flat, A x1
Chorus
Gm, A, Dm, C
Gm, C, Dm, A
then back to the intro/verse repeat as necessary for whatever I write.
Thoughts? it's the nicest sounding thing I've "composed" and I am proud of it.

Can't really give any advice without hearing it, not me anyway. Maybe post a recording of it and people could tell you, where to put in fills etc.
A really nice E chord I only just discovered

On it's own doesn't sound like much. This is the bar with it in.
0-2-3
x-0-x
x-0-x
x-2-x
x-x-x
0-x-x
Recognise that? Maybe these two bars
x-x-|x-x-
x-2-|x-2-
x-2-|x-1-
x-4-|x-2-
5-x-|0-x-
x-x-|x-x-
Just play those two bars over and over, and think how they'd sound on a piano.

These chords are from a Wes Montgomery song. Don't think you can find tastier chords than these.
e 9 12 14 14 12 9 7
B 7 13 12 7 10 9 7 2
G 7 13 13 7 6 6 5 5 5 3 3 4
D 7 12 12 7 6 9 7 6 4 7 6 5 7 3 5 2
A 7 0 7 0 0 0 0 0
E 0 0
Hope this comes out looking right. Played slowly, can be in your own time too, whichever notes you want to make stick out I guess. Amazing stuff.
