GMC Forum _ PRACTICE ROOM _ Guess The Chord And Spice It Up!
Posted by: Cosmin Lupu Jan 23 2013, 11:18 PM
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... 
Posted by: Cosmin Lupu Jan 23 2013, 11:32 PM
nope nope nope! keep guessing
Posted by: TreyDeschamp Jan 23 2013, 11:33 PM
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#
Posted by: Cosmin Lupu Jan 23 2013, 11:41 PM
I'm not saying that you are too far
Posted by: mad Jan 23 2013, 11:49 PM
OK, I'm pretty sure it's an Emaj9, no5th : E, G#, D#, F#
Posted by: AK Rich Jan 24 2013, 12:12 AM
That would have been my guess as well
Posted by: Cosmin Lupu Jan 24 2013, 01:03 AM
Bingo, mad is the winner! So, what chord is it that you want to put in the game?

Posted by: AK Rich Jan 24 2013, 09:54 AM

Posted by: mad Jan 24 2013, 09:55 AM
Exactly AK!
Posted by: Cosmin Lupu Jan 24 2013, 10:03 AM
Mr. Rich! Congrats! The ball is in your court
Posted by: AK Rich Jan 24 2013, 10:05 AM
Woohoo!! Ok here's one
[attachment=30329:GTC.mp3]
Posted by: Cosmin Lupu Jan 24 2013, 10:14 AM
this one also has a nickname , if I am not mistaken 
Posted by: AK Rich Jan 24 2013, 10:33 AM
this one also has a nickname , if I am not mistaken Indeed it does!
Posted by: mad Jan 24 2013, 11:00 AM
Well, this one sounds to me like an E7 with #5, #9
Posted by: smolentsev Jan 24 2013, 01:46 PM
sounds like that:

I don't know it's name.
Posted by: Cosmin Lupu Jan 24 2013, 02:12 PM
http://www.guitarmasterclass.net/scalegenerator
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
Posted by: mad Jan 24 2013, 02:23 PM
Well, these are exactly the same notes I got and used a chord-finder tool for to get a name 
Posted by: Sensible Jones Jan 24 2013, 04:13 PM
It a Jimi Hendixadd13!
Or I think the correct name would be EM7#9add13.
Posted by: smolentsev Jan 24 2013, 05:48 PM
It's that nicknamed chord with a little extra something Mad was very closeOk, 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...
Posted by: Cosmin Lupu Jan 24 2013, 07:07 PM
Or I think the correct name would be EM7#9add13.
Looks like Neil has landed the airplane!
Good one mate! Your call now - throw a chord at us 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...
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!

Sorry!!
Posted by: AK Rich Jan 24 2013, 07:28 PM
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
Posted by: Cosmin Lupu Jan 24 2013, 07:30 PM
True - as it's a flat 13th we have there - sorry for having my head in the clouds
Posted by: AK Rich Jan 24 2013, 07:33 PM
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!
Posted by: AK Rich Jan 24 2013, 08:31 PM
Thanks for sharing!My pleasure!
Posted by: mad Jan 24 2013, 10:12 PM
And I shouldn't use a chordfinder tool
Posted by: brwnhornet59 Jan 24 2013, 10:47 PM
The old Hendrix chord (E7#9) with a b13 (#5) built from E alt, 7th mode of FMM...
Posted by: smolentsev Jan 25 2013, 08:19 AM
Alright! Here is one from me
Posted by: Cosmin Lupu Jan 25 2013, 09:16 AM
Alright guys! Who's the first to tackle smolentsev's challenge?
Posted by: brwnhornet59 Jan 25 2013, 12:16 PM
It is a B 6/9 (sans 5th) with the 6th doubled in octaves.... B G# D# G# C# (R 6th 3rd 6th 9th)...
Posted by: smolentsev Jan 25 2013, 05:34 PM
Spot on! It's from song Lenny by SRV
Posted by: brwnhornet59 Jan 25 2013, 09:41 PM
Okay, my turn. This should not be to hard...
Posted by: Sensible Jones Jan 25 2013, 10:03 PM
It is also:-
C# 7sus2 no3 ||R25b7
Eb aug5 7th sus4 ||R4a5b7
or
Ab m add4 ||Rm345
Posted by: brwnhornet59 Jan 26 2013, 08:12 AM

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.
Posted by: Cosmin Lupu Jan 26 2013, 11:16 AM
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!
Posted by: brwnhornet59 Jan 26 2013, 05:13 PM
LOL, but no one named the chord I posted as of yet... 
Posted by: Sensible Jones Jan 26 2013, 06:37 PM
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.
Posted by: brwnhornet59 Jan 26 2013, 07:22 PM

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...
Posted by: Cosmin Lupu Jan 27 2013, 08:26 AM
Hehe, check the tuning folks, otherwise it will confuse everyone So, what is this one then?
Posted by: brwnhornet59 Jan 27 2013, 03:20 PM
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...
Posted by: Cosmin Lupu Jan 27 2013, 04:59 PM
I'm not telling
Posted by: Sensible Jones Jan 27 2013, 06:01 PM
Well, with that spelling it's Eb7b5, didn't sound like that to my ear though!
Posted by: brwnhornet59 Jan 27 2013, 06:18 PM
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...
Posted by: Cosmin Lupu Jan 28 2013, 09:11 AM
Looks like Sensible is at the ball What do you have for us mate?
Posted by: Cosmin Lupu Feb 1 2013, 06:47 PM
Hey guys! Got a new one for ya! What could this one be?
Posted by: brwnhornet59 Feb 2 2013, 02:57 PM
The notes are E, A#, C#, G#...
In this context it is a drop 2 E6 #4...
R, #4, 6, 3rd...
Posted by: Cosmin Lupu Feb 3 2013, 04:00 PM
Right you are! Let's see what you got for us!
Posted by: Cosmin Lupu Feb 5 2013, 09:33 AM
Alright guys, let's see - what could this one be?
Posted by: Cosmin Lupu Feb 12 2013, 12:59 PM
C'mon don't be shy or is it troublesome?
Posted by: Sensible Jones Feb 12 2013, 05:02 PM
I'm hearing A,D#,A,C#,A#.
If we're using A as the Root then I think this would give us an A-9b5. (R, dim2,3,dim 5)
If not I think my ears might need re-setting!!
Posted by: brwnhornet59 Feb 12 2013, 06:30 PM

It is indeed an A root, but it is not a minor chord unless you meant a b9 ("A-" to me is A minor) But because I see you wrote C# in there I think it is just a matter of how we read symbols differently...You got three of the 5 notes (A C# Bb) correct. The A is not doubled either...
Posted by: Sensible Jones Feb 12 2013, 06:47 PM
Yeah that '-' is for the b9, not the A.
I'll go give it another listen!!
Posted by: Cosmin Lupu Feb 13 2013, 08:59 AM
2 notes to go and you're there Neil What'll it be?
Posted by: Cosmin Lupu Feb 17 2013, 01:12 PM
I am hearing A, A, C#, F A#
This would be an A augmented b9 (1 3 #5 b9)
And I am throwing a new one into the mix:
Posted by: brwnhornet59 Feb 17 2013, 07:46 PM
Yes the notes are, A G C# F Bb or A7b9#5 (b13)....
