Question:
Hello, anyone know what chord you make when you move the C chord down to the 3rd fret?
I saw a video with Chris Tomlin... he had a capo on 3 and he would play the regular c chord... then he would move the c chord up to like the 3rd fret...
thanks

thanks what you're describing sounds like a modified D major chord...but I'm not totally sure if that's what you're describing.
Answer:
the video was on new song cafe... it looked like he kepts the same fingering for the c chord and just moved it down the the 3rd fret past the capo...
i have been searching to find out what chord you make by moving C up to the 3rd fret but have not out yet... thanks
Answer:

Answer:

so you just move C up to the 3rd fret?? you might have to mute some strings in there to really get it to sound good.
Answer:
no....it sounds good up on that 3rd fret...its something like DMaj11 or something.
Answer:
if i'm not mistaken its called Dadd9.
@thesteve, no you don't need to. it sounds unique to itself depending on what you use it for. an example of this chord being used is in the United Live Best Friend album, Jesus Lover of My Soul intro part.

The chord has an additional 4th and 2nd, and no 5th. This has always made naming the chord difficult in my mind. The closest I could get to an accurate naming convention was D2sus4(no 5), except that suspensions move from the third, and the third (F#) is present, so my name wasn't very accurate.
That being said, earlier I wasn't implying that the chord alone sounds bad, but that in certain contexts, the G and E can add unwanted elements, and that muting those strings may improve the sound in the context of the song.
Answer:
cool, thanks all!
what do you mean when you say it has "no 5th" ?
thanks again

thanks again given that the chord is notated (EADGBe - x54030), the notes are D-F#-G-D-E. These are, the root (1st), third, fourth, root and second notes in the scale. A normal major triad is built from the root, third and fifth of the scale (in this case, the fifth is the A note).
Answer:
I think what you're describing is kind of like what David Crowder does...
he performs the song using a capo on the third fret with his capo backwards, but heres the part where almost everyone gets a little confused: for every song that crowder plays live he tunes the guitar down a half step and capoes the song on the first fret, thereby making it standard tuning...so, since crowder capoes his guitar on the 3rd fret, the song O Praise Him is played in standard tuning with a capo on the 2nd fret....ugh i know it may sound a little complicated but if you have any more questions please ask and ill try to answer them the best i can.
Answer:
So he moves it to the third fret past the capo on 3? So he starts on 6? That is just D#. (D# G A# D# G)

That's interesting. It's common for people with terrible guitars that aren't set up properly to tune down a half step (less string tension = easier playing action) and capo at the first fret (so that nut height doesn't interfere with playability). I wonder if Crowder has his own particular reasons for doing this, because I'm somewhat certain that he doesn't play on that substandard an instrument...?

Nate I know some guys have their guitars tuned a half-step and capo one because they can't sing all of the songs in standard...so they take the capo off to sing a half-step lower.
