Searching for the lost chord....

Post by Gob »

Is it possible to play a E sus A add 9 chord on a piano?

No.

An Esus add9 however is quite possible... :nana

One exists, the other doesn't.

From memory, esus add9 is root, 4th, perfect 5th & major 9th.
That probably means nowt so I'll post the actual notes when I get home and even the appropriate keys if you need it. I haven't got time to work it out right now...

Save you some trouble mate.

Second fret, hold down middle two strings, play all.

What chord is it, and what's that on a piano?

Okay, well the closest to that would be E sus: 022200 on a guitar. The notes are: E, B & A. Play around with variations of the three notes together (on guitar it's E, B, E, A, B, E ascending) until you find one that sounds right to you.

Does that work for you or do you want me to point out specific piano keys? ;)

You should've PMed Andrew with this as he is our resident piano virtuoso...

Ooh bitch!! :D

I wasn't a big Moody Blues fan, not a fan at all in fact, but love the "Italian Waiter" look!

Loved Stanley Unwin though!

they even have the whole album on there.

Days of the Future Past and In Search of the Lost Chord were their best albums the rest had one or two good songs at best.

To tell you the truth those two have their weak points Days at the beginning and in search of at the end but viewed s a whole they are both solid albums.
