Let's start a conversation. What is your favorite chord and why?

I have always been fond of 6add9 chords because they wrap you in a warm blanket on a trip to dreamland. lol

I've been obsessed with Dadd9 lately, because it sounds great on my baritone ukulele and I can go to so many different places from it. (I guess technically on the uke it's a Dsus2 (0230), since I replace the 3rd with the 2nd.)

Try 4230 on your baritone ukulele, a Dadd9 with the 3rd on the lowest string. Sounds nice on my tenor guitar (tuned d-g-b-e like a baritone ukulele with steel strings). Add9- and sus2-chords are two of my favourite chords at the moment actually:-)

I am noodling around a progression that goes like this: 0022 (G5) 0230 (Dsus2) 2030 (Em7) 2002 (Emadd9)

This is lovely! I changed it a little bit and I have a sweet progression!

I'm doing:

0230 0232 2030 2032 2002 2003 2005 0000 0222

And on the second time the last bar:

022x 023x

Dsus2 D

Em7(no5) Em9(no5)

Emadd9 Em Emadd11

  1. Em7 (or G6?) Dmaj7

  2. Dmaj7(no3) D5

D Mixolydian. Nice. I like Lydian because it has one more major chord than does major.

I wrote a song last night that's inspired by your chord progression: https://youtu.be/-q6d4NeF1GE

Nice. Add ninth chords are so enigmatic and soothing.
