Hi guys back withanother thread. I cant tell what these chords might be
x x A C D G
x x B D E A
x x E G A D
x x D E G C
-
Do you know what the bass notes are?
-
Of course the bass note is the first note in those chords in the order as they are listed.
-
Never mind you guys! This is an answer I got from on another forum when I posted this same topic
x x A C D G = D7sus4, or (partial) Am11.
x x B D E A = E7sus4, or (partial) Bm11.
x x E G A D = A7sus4, or (partial) Em11.
x x D E G C = C/D, or D9sus4.
They could all be parts of other more complex chords, or common modal voicings (modal chords benefit from ambiguity).

You can't assume that we will know that the first note is the root note. You have to tell us because like you said there could be a lot of different names for it.

Ok, guys I have more complex chords. The first note in the chord as they are listed is the root note.
Ok, the first chord:
x E G C D x or x x E G C D
x A C F G x or x x A C F G
x x B D G A

x x B D G A
It would help if you would put the chords in a more common guitar-specific format, such as:
0
1
0
2
3
x
That is a C major chord, open position, and it's a much more commonly used and recognizable layout than:
x E G C D x
Also, that above example is not guitar-friendly at all in regards to actually putting one's fingers on the fretboard. Neither is the other option you posted.
Are you making these chords up? If not, where are you getting them from?
These are not "complex" chords from a 'choice of notes' standpoint, but they are near impossible from a 'fingers to the fretboard without stretching beyond human capabilities' position, at least as far as the examples you posted.

Another consideration for naming chords is placement. Where are these chords being played in the song? What chord(s) come before it? What chords come after it?

Okay, so have you tried playing any of those?
I have and with my big hands and long fingers they are near impossible to play in the configuration given.
I'd suggest other fingerings and using any or all of the six strings we're given. This is where inversions come in real handy.
What are the names of these chords? With the notes given I'm sure I could come up with at least a couple of options for each. ;D
