If anyone could tell me the Name of this chord. I would really appreciate it. I think it sounds really pretty. Thanks
Answer:
If I am reading that correctly, then the notes are E, B, E, G, C, E. That would be a Cmaj7 first inversion, or C 6/5.
Answer:
Heya,
Looks like an Eminor with a 6th added. Not sure how that'd be notated. Maybe Em6? It's hard to tell if those are even the notes being played though, because of the extremely wierd style of tab used.

I think yours is correct.
Thats what it looks like to me anyways.
Answer:
Either way, that chord only really works if the 6th is used as a passing tone.
Answer:
assuming thats an Em6 go, Em6-Em-C-D-C-Em.
Or something like that. My guitar isnt fully in tune, so for me it wont have the right effect, and im thinking that progression gets a sad, minor feel to it (well, duh, because of the 3 em's on either side of it). Its really nice sounding no-matter what chord you view it as tho.
Edit: Which I guess serves to further validate th00's point, huh?
Answer:
There really is a sense of loss involved when one finds out that every chord has a name and most all of them have been used before...

Answer:
I tried that chord.... It sounds horrible.
Answer:
Doesn't the lack of resolution when that chord is played on its own make you just want to fall apart?
Eventually, you will also find out that there aren't really any bad-sounding chords, just good chords used in bad context.
Answer:
Haha, I totally just read that chord upside down and said to myself "guys, you're all wrong, it's a em7(b5)(#13)!". Then I read it again and was like, "darn it! That was a really cool chord, too!".
Either way, the lack of resolution is quite awesome on both chords.
Answer:
Em#5 works, or at least that's how most of the jazz cats i know would say it er, that's if all the strings are being played

Answer:
I like to use this nifty little Chord Namer when I get stuck for the name of a chord and my limited theory knowledge fails me.
Not perfect, but it helps.
Answer:
Do a google for a dos program called chord magic. Its a free download and it does this REALLY well. Gives you a few names of each chord too depending on the inversions.
I'm not at home now so I can't tell you the list of names for your chord, but it is a lovely simple little program and runs fine in a Win XP window

bobby But there is a B in that chord as well. You cannot have a 5 and a sharp 5 in the same chord. Besides, C is already in the key of e minor, it is the sixth degree.
Answer:
technically, i'd probably call it an Em13,then!!!
