D minor which is the saddest of all keys, I find. People weep instantly when they hear it, and I don't know why.


Does this mean Dm is the saddest chord?

Yes, yes it does. Russian sevenstrings have a low D added, primarilly for that chord.

True. and you can make it even sadder if you play it and push down on a Bigsby a bit. It can make grown men weep.

Sorry fellas. I crush you all now;

Drop-D, D5.

Dropping is for people too lazy to play properly. :shock:


I'd say EMaj to;

0 e
0 b
2 a
0 g
2 b
0 e

Has a certain charm in a REAL tuning. By that I mean standard and not dropped.

Alt. tuning on the other hand is for acoustic players and nutters.

Apart from the opening chord to Hard Days Night the following is one of my favourites

Am7sus4 (as in the one below, very rich sounding on a 12 string)
E 0
B 3
G 0
D 2
A X
E X

Especially if followed by Fmaj7

E 0
B 1
G 2
D 3
A 0
E X

Though I do have a softspot for the discordant cord near the start of Floyds Astronomy Domine (but I cant remember what it's called but it's played straight after a regular open E)

E 0
B 0
G 0
D 1
A 1
E 0

I'm with the A5 on a Les Paul vote - think of how many classic songs use that (or variations on it) !

The standard 1-3-5 major triad. The basis of all Western music.
