What would be those 4 chords?
I'm so bad at this and the online dictionaries I've checked can'T name them.

I need it pretty fast, I'm filling out lead sheets for a contest.

I know that the last one is probably a c9 or close to that (does the chords having two E instead of 2 G changes it all?)

Been playing those choards for 5 years wihout knowing what they are.

I think #2 is a Csus2...not sure.
nice chord though.

3rd maybe Bmsus7?

Porthos... the first one is F 6/9

Low to high you've got Root, third, sixth, ninth, and then sixth, nith again an octave higher.

I'm working on the others.

The third chord jumped out at me as E minor 7th...

Root, fifth, root, flatted open 3rd, flatted 7th, flatted 3rd.

got a site that explains all this?
I get the basics but...

never did bother to learn this stuff...
we work in 5ths.

Peek... I just know where the notes are and I'm looking at the formulas for makes the different type of chord (6th, flatted 7th, etc) and trying to juggle them to fit.

Not very sophisticated... and why I can't sight read... just can't do those in my head that way.

Like that second chord... I see it as E harmonic minor... but I don't know what the chord is.

I see a muted but suggested E root, flatted sixth, E root, flatted 3rd, fifth, and octave root. I don't know what chord would have a fifth and a flat 3rd and flat 6th. [img]confused.gif[/img]

I don't know if you still have the songs I posted a few months back but those are chords that are parts of La Porte de chez-moi (The door of Cheez Whiz [img]tongue.gif[/img] )

It goes G, chord #1, chord #3, chord #1 and back to G

The last chord is used in the bridge and I just checked a book with the lead sheets of a popular song and it is listed as a Cadd9

baimun

so would it be G, E6/9, Em7, E6/9, G?

*PORTHOS*

now that you say it I see the Em7

but instead of playing E B E G D E

I do E B E G D G

but I'm dumb enough to not get why the chord that looks like a G F# becomes a E 6/9 with the added A and D strings open instead of muted like a G F# should be done.

Now you're at the point where my ADD kicks in and I take Zappa's advice and "Shut up and Play your Guitar". [img]wink.gif[/img]

What'S the big difference between F# A D G D G

and F# A D A D G does doing two A instead of two G changes everything cause both chords sounds pretty much the same and F# A D A D G is G9 F#

We're almost done Doc

Yup, that's G... or Em if your a pessimist [img]wink.gif[/img]

I just wanna rock too, baimun... and think about what i'm doing while i do it [img]wink.gif[/img]

Granted, there are other names for those chords, chords are relative(on a guitar a 9th is a 2nd if you argue it right), but i used the piano's point of view, so other musicians should be able to follow it.

Thanks Baimun and Peek for all the brainstorming and thanks to Jor who comes to rescue me one more time with his knowledge. In fact I was pretty sure it was in G because of a website Jor gave me like 4 years ago.
