Topic: What are those chords?

Hi guys!

I have now 12 original songs with lyrics, I might forget them, so I decided to create a music sheet but I'm struggling with some chords, I don't know what's the name of those...

First of all, I'm using this site to find the chord's name :
http://www.all-guitar-chords.com/chord_name.php

And I use this site to have chord diagrams :

e-0-
A-3-
D-5-
G-4-
B-5-
E-X-

(2)  What is this?

A-8-
D-X-
G-9-
B-X-
E-X-

(3)   This one?

E-X-

(5)   This one?

Thanks!
I might repost new unknown chords if the site I'm using can't help me...

Re: What are those chords?

I think the chord names are  #1- x54530 - D9no5 or Cb5/D
                                                          #2- xx9x8x  - Gno5/B
                                                          #3 -xx8x8x  - Gmn05/A#
                                                          #4 -xx7x6x  - Fn05/A
                                                          #5 -xx6x6x -  Fmno5/G#

I hope this is what you were looking for,  they all have a nice sound.  I'm no expert but I enjoy finding new chords and alternative fingerings to give a slightly different"voice" to chords normally used. 

Live in the "now" - a contentment of the moment - the past is gone - the future doesn't exist - all we ever really have is now and it's always "now".

Re: What are those chords?

I'm used to reading chords the other way:

e <=high e string
b
g
d
a
e <=low e string
and based upon your descriptions of the chords it looks like that's what you intended but are your string labels flipped backward? At any rate, as written these chords are:

1. C major 7 /E
2. Probably an f major 7 shell voicing with third omitted, but with only two notes it depends a lot upon the context in which you're playing the chord. See the note below.
3. Probably a shell voicing f dominant 7.
4. Probably a shell voicing for Eb major 7.
5. Probably a shell voicing for Eb dominant 7.

Now if your string labels were flipped and your high "e" string is marked correctly, here's what we are looking at:
1. D9. (You note correctly that the 5th is missing. I leave out 5ths a lot. They are largely unimportant to chords unless you're playing altered chords or you're going for a certain type of sound.)
2.  Another shell voicing, could be Em7 but depends upon context. Could also be a G major.
3. Could be Cm7 or Eb7.
4. Dm7, again depends upon context. could also be an F chord.
5. This might be a Bbm7 or Db7.

Hope that helps. Sorry to be ambiguous but when you're dealing with simple two-note chords the devil is in the details. smile 

Re: What are those chords?

Not sure if this will be any help, but when I'm writing out my song sheets (in ChordPro format), I generally use the 'define' function to add obscure chord fingering or voicing, so for example the D9no5 at the fifth fret would be:

{define: D9no5@3 base-fret 3 frets x 3 2 3 1 0 }


which should draw the correct chord format.

You can read more at the ChordPro site: https://www.chordpro.org/chordpro/Direc … efine.html

I've also written a little on-line app to help with the chords: http://neophytte.mine.nu/chord/

I'm also not sure if the Chordie site 'respects' defines (I generally write the songfiles for my local applications; Song Sheet Generator on the Mac/PC and OnSong on the iPad).

Hope that wasn't too off-topic, and it helps ....

Cheers
