Alright boys and girls!

Let's get it down with a new fun forum challenge This time its all about EAR TRAINING - how good are your ears?

It goes like this - find out what chord this is (the one in the attachment)

The first one who finds out, has to record another chord (he chooses what) and post it here for the other guys to figure out and so on - the main rule is - the one who guesses the chord needs to start the new challenge

It's not necessary to use any fancy recording devices - you only need to record 1 chord !

Ready??

GO!!

I know the chord!

A#m7b5?

I'm not sure if that is the right chords name, I had to look at a chart to see which chord it was but the chord I just stated matched the sound...

nope nope nope! keep guessing

Ah, I thought I had it. I'll take my time unless someone else gets it!

Mh, sounds like an Emaj9, no3rd ??

Edit: These are the notes I hear: B, E, D#, F#

I'm not saying that you are too far

OK, I'm pretty sure it's an Emaj9, no5th : E, G#, D#, F#

That would have been my guess as well

Bingo, mad is the winner! So, what chord is it that you want to put in the game?

Wow

And here's a new one...

I know the answer already, but I won't spoil the fun Let's go guys!

Is that Emin(Add9) ?

Exactly AK!

Mr. Rich! Congrats! The ball is in your court

Woohoo!! Ok here's one

this one also has a nickname , if I am not mistaken

Indeed it does!

Well, this one sounds to me like an E7 with #5, #9

sounds like that:


I don't know it's name.

That's perfect Artyom - but now, try and see what the relationship between the intervals are - considering E as the root and figure out the name of the chord. Mr. Rich was a sly fox It's that nicknamed chord with a little extra something Mad was very close

Well, these are exactly the same notes I got and used a chord-finder tool for to get a name

It a Jimi Hendixadd13!


Or I think the correct name would be EM7#9add13.

Ok, we have E as a root, then

G# - major third
D - minor 7th
G - looks like augmented 9th
C - looks like minor 13th

Also there is no 5th.

Now I'm totally confused about right name of this chord...

Looks like Neil has landed the airplane! Good one mate! Your call now - throw a chord at us



Well, Neil has said the name before you did major 3rd and b7th usually signal a dominant 7th chord and this one is E7#9add13 so Neil you missed it BY AN INCH no M7 here - I just noticed you said M7

So I say - why not Artyom AND Neil throw a chord at us, each!

I just noticed that too, now you mention it! I did mean to write m7 so as to distinguish it but must have made a typo!
Sorry!!

As far as I can tell the chord had been found but the name for this chord has not been guessed yet, unless I missed something.
The chord as I understand it is.

E7#9 b13

True - as it's a flat 13th we have there - sorry for having my head in the clouds

I never knew the name of this chord untill about a year ago when I found this

Hehe, I had no clue about this man Thanks for sharing!

My pleasure!

And I shouldn't use a chordfinder tool

The old Hendrix chord (E7#9) with a b13 (#5) built from E alt, 7th mode of FMM...

Alright! Here is one from me

Alright guys! Who's the first to tackle smolentsev's challenge?

It is a B 6/9 (sans 5th) with the 6th doubled in octaves.... B G# D# G# C# (R 6th 3rd 6th 9th)...

Spot on! It's from song Lenny by SRV

Okay, my turn. This should not be to hard...

It is also:-
C# 7sus2 no3 ||R25b7
Eb aug5 7th sus4 ||R4a5b7
or
Ab m add4 ||Rm345

Indeed, but from the instructions I saw, the chord name was based off of the root. We can add all of the inversions as part of the answer if you want.

Yes, indeed guys, let's stick to the chord name based on the root, in order to avoid diversions for this one, BUT, since you came up with it, maybe I'll start a little activity based on this idea as well So, Sensible Jones - you have the ball!

LOL, but no one named the chord I posted as of yet...

Sounds like a Diminished 7 to me.
F#, C, Eb, A.
As we know these can be repeated shapes so it could be F#dim7, Cdim7, Ebdim7 or Adim7.

No sir, try again...

To be fair I was 1/4-1/2 of a semitone flat of standard tuning when I recorded that. I did not realize it until afterwards...That will learn me to be in tune LOL...

Hehe, check the tuning folks, otherwise it will confuse everyone So, what is this one then?

The slight offset tuning should not have stopped anyone from getting the sequence, Sensible Jones had two notes right. The notes are Eb A Db G...

I'm not telling

Well, with that spelling it's Eb7b5, didn't sound like that to my ear though!

Yes, Eb7b5 from Eb H/W dim...

or

Eb7#11 built from lydian dom (4th mode of BbMM)...

Or

Eb7#11 from Eb wholetone...

Take your pick...

Looks like Sensible is at the ball What do you have for us mate?

Hey guys! Got a new one for ya! What could this one be?
