Both are G sus2, because the 3rd is diminished - its not 2nd (or 9th for this matter), becase 9th chords are basic triads with 2nd/9th added GDF# Since F# is a major 7th in G ionian, its just G maj7 no 5th (no 3rd) . B is major 3rd for G. EDIT: Just noticed there is no B inside, without 5th and 3rd, its nonsense. If D was a root, F# is its maj3rd and G is its 4th. Then its D add11 (no 5th) CGBD The last one would be more of G add11, since C is 4th (or 11th for this matter) to G. It could also be C sus2 +maj7th Anything more?

It could, maybe its even more logical:) There is always more options. But I prefere to do it this way... To look at the relationship with the scale In case of c# tho, it would be Gadd11+ (signature chord of lydian mode), but in this case, both choices are OK I guess.. some of teachers will tell us more I guess:) You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Don't feel bad or apologize, mate. I'm not the best at all this chord theory either - at least it's very similar to my notation sightreading. I can do it, but it goes very slowly.

May 14 2009, 11:02 PM	Instructor Posts: 2.279 Joined: 4-August 08 From: Argentina, Buenos Aires	Well, I just want to add a little thing. If you think the voicings as in the picture that I've attached then the first chord could be thought as a G9 no third. The thing could be different if you switch the G over the D because in that case you could think the chord as a Dsus4 (D root, G perfect fourth, A perfect fifth). What I want to remark is that the position of the voices sometimes is really important to determine which type of chord is because this kind of notation in a certain way is very limited because gives a lot of space to interpretation. That's a good thing but sometimes a bad thing, for example the traditional notation (like the one I attached) gives you all the information about where the notes are placed. So, the second chord if you think it as I wrote it the A now it's the second not the ninth because is not above the octave and because the chord has no third you can think it as a second replacing the third (a typical chord in some cadences of barroque music). - (Gsus2) The third chord has: root, perfect fifth and major seventh. So in the context of the other chords could be as Muris said, a Gmaj7. You have to think that the chords are defined by the conduction of the parts (voices) the previous events and the upcomming events too. This chord (those three notes) seems to represent a Gmaj7 but I think it's very important where is placed this chord because if you know that you are in G major obviously this chord is a Gmaj7 but could be different if you're using the harmonization of the melodic minor scale where this chord could be a major-minor chord (G-Bb-D-F#). That's some example of what I tried to explain above. The last chord is a plain G major with a C on the bass, a typical slash chord (the denomination comes for the notation G/C). A chord with altered bass. And the voicing is also typical of the guitar where the third is above the fifth, a very open disposition of the voices. I hope this helps a little You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content! Don't miss today's free blues, jazz & country licks.
