I love a good E major or this other one that I don't know the name of but it's basically a C with the g string on fret 1 instead of the b string.

D chord out of drop D tuning and pretty much any major chord. Major triads with added notes are beautiful.

Not sure what the hell I'd call it. But I love the sound of this. This is finger plucking though.

E - mute
A - 9
D- 9
G - 7
B- mute
E - mute

F#sus4#5? I dunno. I like starting my scales here.


I really like barring 2-3 strings at once a lot. I'll post a video in a bit. Anything involving the blues pentatonic scales is always fun for me.

G - 5
B - 3

That's an E-shaped minor triad. It's B minor in that position.

B, then A as bar chords or just played with the thumb on the root note.

at the moment it's the F6no3 prominently used in the song "Right and Wrong" by Joe Jackson.

and the Mu major chord that Steely Dan puts into everything (and made up?)... like right before the chorus in "Rikki Don't Lose That Number."
