[LilSteve]

should the 11 be a 12 here? If not, how would you finger that?

note the finger placement...
E--12--third or ring finger
B--13--pinky
G--12-second
D--12--second
A--11--first
E--0--

cool thread!

I don't know wtf it's called, but this chord is sweet.

E ----5
B ----3
G ----0
D ----4
A ----2
E ----0

Also, the good ol' add9 chords with plenty of gain sound amazing.

C#add9 for example,

G ----8
D ----6
A ----4

Also, playing...

E ----7
B ----8
G ----9
D ----10 etc. and sliding it up and down the neck with the neck pickup on clean, while picking near the actual frets sounds sweet.

 

[Grzkla]

Pretty straight forward but love the ringing and potential next moves
E--0
B--0
G--8
D--9
A--9
E--7

Yes, it's very nice Badd11

G11

E--1
B--1
G--2
D--0
A--x
E--3

It's G9sus4

I don't know wtf it's called, but this chord is sweet.
E ----5
B ----3
G ----0
D ----4
A ----2
E ----0

It's Em11 in my favourite voicing.
Another examples Em11 are:

0 0 5 4 3 2
12 x 12 12 10 10
12 12 12 12 12 14
0 0 0 0 0 0


Lately I like play chord Cadd9(add#4) or Cadd9(#11):
x 3 4 0 3 0

Similar to Em11 is quite nice, too, Em9:
0 2 4 0 3 2

 

[Volt]

Hi Volt
A double stop is simply when you pluck two strings at the same time.
Pluck three and it would be a treble stop. (Albert Lee is a master at this)

Ahhhhh thanks Spud. I've been 2, 3, and 4-string plucking since the late '70's and never knew what it was called.

 

[Astrofreq]

It's G9sus4

Why do you call this a G9sus4 instead of G11? I could be wrong, but I want to understand the logic behind the naming.

EDIT: I get it! because the three is missing in this case. Thanks for keeping me on my toes.

Cadd9(add#4):
x 3 4 0 3 0

That's awesome.

 

[Nemesys]

Great thread! Since I don't see it here yet, here's a variation on Em that I use sometimes:

E--3
B--5
G--4
D--2
A--2
E--0

 

[azazael]

Its pretty much the first chord in 'Since you've been gone' by Rainbow.

Many many years ago, like back in the mid-to-late '70's, my friend Frank Dunch (RIP ) who was one of the best guitarists I've ever heard taught me a cool way to play a G-major chord that most guitarists I know aren't aware of.
Well, I'm going to pass it on.........if you don't already know it.

E---3 (1st finger)
B---3 (1st finger)
G---O (6th finger - lol j/k)
D---5 (4th finger)
A---5 (3rd finger)
E---3 (2nd finger)

Enjoy.

Edit: I added the fingering.

 

[lpcoco]

There is one that I play string by string and come back. It's a saddly melodic one. It's Dm sus4 add 9.

E---0
B---6
G---0
D---7
A---5
E---X
