Topic: E5no3 chord??????????

Hi All!!!!

First of all what is the E5no3 chord.
Second how do I transpose it from the key of C to key of D?

Is that possible?
Btw, the song is Grace Like Rain by Todd Agnew.

Re: E5no3 chord??????????

How do you transpose it?  Easy.  Put a capo on the second fret and play everything exactly the same while pretending that the capo is the nut. 

Or you could put in an F5no3 chord.  Which I am supposing is equally impossible to an E5no3 chord.  What confuses me is the 5 no 3.  What the heck is a chord if not based on 1,3,5?  5 is already in the chord, and no 3 in a chord makes it a duad or some other weird and obscure musical term I'd think.  E5no3 would just be E and the fifth, which is ....B (I think) without an A (the third).  I do that all the time on bass - just playing the root and fifth, but not on guitar. 

With an F base it would be F and the fifth of F, which is .... um..... no idea.  Let's see, maybe C?  I'm going with C.  F and C.  Not much of a chord.  OH WAIT!  That's a power chord on guitar! 

I think that's meant to be a power chord based on E.  Finger your usual E chord and just play the fifth and sixth strings. 

Whew.  I hope that's right. 

Russell or Jerome will be along.  They live for questions like this.  Or someone competent anyway.

Huh????

Zurf, you must still be in a state of confusion from Russell's post on your Am7/G.

Is a power chord a regular chord? so it can be transposed?

Is this right:

Key of C
Dm E5no3 F G F G A G Bb

Key of D
Em F# G A G A B A C

Makes no diff anyhow, I can't play it either way.

zguitar -

I have no idea if that's right.  I'm of the "if it sounds good, do it" school.  I was using cross-picking on a song for six months before I even knew it had a name.  It just sounded cool (to me) on the song, so I did it.  For power chords I think you just play the low E (6) and the A (5) strings in any shape that makes those chords and includes those strings.

Re: E5no3 chord??????????

All I know is that if Russell understands this chord structuring stuff that there's no way in heck I'm going to take him on in chess.  I can see it now...

Russell:  "That's your opening move?"
Zurf: "Yep."
Russell: "You sure? I'll let you change if you want."
Zurf: "I'm sure."
Russell: "Checkmate."

Re: E5no3 chord??????????

Grace like Rain is one of Todd Agnews best songs and i play it capoed on the 2nd fret transposed in the key of G = EM, C, G, D with an altered Dmaj2, Dmaj4 in the second and fourth line of each verse. Then on the chorus an improvised augmented D before the solo which is the same as the verses. I know it's not the way it's recorded but it sounds good to me.

Re: E5no3 chord??????????

Funny stuff Zurf its really simple a chord needs three notes anything else is an interval and it takes a least 3 moves to checkmate lol
