Re: Name this Cord

I'm no chord-meister but it's a G sharp seventh or somekind.

Re: Name this Cord

It looks like an F root though.  If you're barring the first fret!

Re: Name this Cord

Hi!
I tried it on www.chordfind.com "reverse chord find" and it said: No chord found.
If I interpreted your picture right then Cynthia is close with the G#7.

Your chord is if im right:
e-7-
b-4-
g-5-
d-4-
a-6-
E-4-

The G#7 is:
e-4-
b-4-
g-5-
d-4-
a-6-
E-4-

The only difference is your pinky on fret 7 on the high e.

If you analyse the tones on the high e you change it from a G# to a B
The other tones in your chord are D#, A#, F#, D# ang G#
If you compare it to for example the Bmaj7 that is F#, D#, A#, F# and B. That chord is close to your tones and sounds good so yours should too, it's just arranged a bit different on the fretboard.

Have to go and try the G sharp Simba mix chord now :-)
