Name these chords
« on: April 28, 2008, 09:41:36 PM »
Hey all. Using some of the practice chords from the tutorial section of the site (lots and lots of help) but I want to transpose them. I could just move them up, but I'd also like to know the names of the chords so I could build them (to work on my theory). Any help would be appreciated.

7-3-6-2-5-1 progression

B / A-D-F (7)         
E / Ab-C-D-G (3) 
A / G-C-E (6) 
D / F#-A-C-E (2)     
G / F-G-C-D (5)     
G / F-G-B-D (5)   
C / E-G-C (1)

Here they are again with the scale degrees used to make up each chord in parenthesis:

B / A-D-F  =  Bm7 b5  or B half-diminished chord   (1-b3-b5-b7)       
E / Ab-C-D-G  =  E7 #5/b9  (1-3-#5-b7-b9)
A / G-C-E  =  Am7  (1-b3-5-b7)
D / F#-A-C-E  =  D9  (1-3-5-b7-9)     
G / F-G-C-D  =  G7sus4  (1-4-5-b7)   
G / F-G-B-D  =  G7  (1-3-5-b7)
C / E-G-C  =  C  (1-3-5)

G / F-G-C-D  =  G7sus4  (1-4-5-b7)...

Just for clarification on this chord,  I called it a G11...both are correct.

The 3rd and 9th are optional...(1-(3)-5-b7-(9)-11)...

You may also see the G7sus4 called G7add11 or G7sus11

Thanks for the degrees T...

Yeah, I just named it the way I was using it at the time.  Plus, if u see in the next chord the sus4 note resolves to 3.  So, the sus4 chord name fits better in the scheme of this particular progression.  Naming it is fine, but function will let u know which name is better.
