What's the best chord?

[DM60]

A ripcord is pretty important.

The reserve can be important as well!

A ripcord is pretty important.

Only if you're falling!

[Rod Norman]

No, but there is a best replacement for the musician who asks this kind of question in a band.

There has to be a best one, right?

 

[grimtraveller]

No, but there is a best replacement for the musician who asks this kind of question in a band.

AWWWWOOOOOO !

 

[Greg_L]

No, but there is a best replacement for the musician who asks this kind of question in a band.

So you don't know the answer? You will be replaced.

Umbilical?

 

[PTravel]

Umbilical?

I think we have a winner!

Grim, do you live in London (gratuitous Warren Zevon reference)

Yeah.
We have a few best chords here too, but we're too polite to play them !

I saw Warren Zevon in concert once. Conspicuously, he had no drummer. After like the 2nd song, forgot all about not having a drummer. It helped that the place wasn't packed and I was only a few feet from the stage.

The best chord...and there is one...has simply got to be A!! Sorry, but it is.

The best chord...and there is one...has simply got to be A!! Sorry, but it is.

Here's one favorite I came up with for a song I wrote quite a few years ago:
(low E first) 322232
I guess you could call it G6/9maj7

Another one (from the same song):
302030

I've never used either of them again in any other work. They're like spices; a little bit adds flavor, but too much spoils the soup.

 

[rpm61]

I revealed the best chord in my answer to the best note fiasco, not repeating myself, I was feeling generous that day and nevermore.

That's never stopped me from posting.

Chords are the best kind of pants to wear and I heard they are making a comeback.

 

[XploZiveToyz]

I struck an "A" chord back in 1976 on my first Les Paul Standard through my first Marshall stack with a 100 watt head, that is still resonating and sustaining even now in the present time! I think anyone reading this would have to agree that that was indeed one helluva chord!

 

[Greg_L]

A chords are nice. I like E and D too for just ringing out a big open chord.

 

[K-dub]

The best chord is the one that resolves the tension built from the other chords.
