I dont even know what one is. But im not much of a guitar player, but if i find anyone that knows what it is and can play it, i'll let you know!
Good question. Hmm, I'm pretty sure it's D# 11, because it doesn't sound like a sharp 11th in the song I'm trying to play.
Right, so you've got a chord with D#, Fx, A#, C#, E# and G# with the A# in the bass. I'm going to respell those as Eb,G,Bb,Db,F and Ab just so I can think more clearly I'm no guitarist, but I can do a bit of maths. So you've got your 6 strings, E,A,D,G,B,E So to get the Bb that's a tritone up so 6 frets up from the open string. now I don't know much about guitars, but I'm guessing the biggest possible stretch between fingers for a chord is 3, or maybe 4 frets? You can play the Db on the A string - that's 4 frets up, the Ab on the top E string, and the Eb on the B string, also four frets up, so perhaps you could form a brace for the top two strings with one finger? That leaves your G and D string and an F and a G to play. You could leave the G string open, and play the F on the D string that's 3 frets. So to put that in order, that'd be E 6 A 4 D 3 G 0 B 4 E 4 with the last two covered by the one finger Is that possible? I must admit I know nothing about playing the guitar, but I've had to work things out for multi-stops on orchestral stringed instruments so thought I'd try to apply it for guitar.
I don't think it even is unless you were to barre it... but wtf. Weird as shit. And I thought John Mayer and David Crosby were technical.
Well the other option is just to play a Db/Bb, sorry C#/A# chord and hope the rest of the chord is covered by other instruments.
Ok...I might have it...Not sure. But maybe. The easiest option I can think of is to play it like this E-6 B-6 G-6 D-6 A-6 E-6 But, unless I'm mistaken, that is just an A#m11. Or you could do this. Very awkward chord. Sounds alright though. E-4 B-6 G-6 D-x A-6 E-6 Fret the high E with your first finger, E and B with your ring and pink, and barre the top two with you middle finger while muting the D. It'd be easier to use your thumb but my hands aren't big enough. This of course...could all just be very wrong notes...but see if it works.
Yep, A#m11 is a different chord altogether. That other option you gave seems to be it, although the 3rd is missing. Still it could always be implied in the context of the song or played on another instrument.
