I dig the sound/versatility of the (X)7#5b9 chord shape: example: G7#5b9 E|---o- b9 B|---o- #5 G|---o- 3 D|--o-- 7 A|----- x E|--o-- R ...depending upon BASS note used, it can "be" six different chords(!): _C-bass = C9 Bb-bass = Gm6 _A-bass = Gm6/9 _G-bass = Em7-5 and Gm6 Gb-bass = F#7-5-9 and GmMaj13 _F-bass = FMaj13 | ||

This Christmas I've been playing "Angels We Have Heard On High", mostly with A2 and E (with one E7), but with capo on 3rd, so it's really C2-G etc. It has a cool, modern sound to it. | ||

Costs about $15 as a downloadable file and has over 7000 chords. It is a great tool for whenever you see a chord that you don't know or you can click on the notes in question and it will give you the chord name. Very well done professional product for a dirt cheap price. | ||
