This jazzy seventh chord (with a 6th and 9th on top... I don't totally know how to name chords properly), e.g. in A:

E- 5th fret
A- 7th fret
D- 5th fret
G- 6th fret
B- 7th fret
E- 7th fret

My favourite shape for lots of things, it's C maj 6 with a major 7th on top (sounds great in E minor, moving the same shape around):

E- 8th fret
A- 7th fret
D- 7th fret
G- 9th fret
B- 10th fret
E- 7th fret

Some kind of spooky diminished minor seventh + 4 chord or something, let's say in E (standard tuning):

E- 12th fret
A- 13th fret
D- 14th fret
G- 14th fret
B- 15th fret
E- 15th fret

This could be a C# 7sus4 or something like that; dom 7th sus 4th. Or an Eadd9 if you use the open E as a drone maybe?

There's a Villa-Lobos piece where the shape in the middle four strings moves down one fret at a time while keeping the top and bottom Es ringing out. Very cool.

Sorry, but...

Where's the ninth in that one? C#, G# and B -> 1, 5, 7. So basically it's a dominant 7th chord without the third, so depending on what's been played over it, it could be any kind of dominant chord. It could be a 9th chord if you play a D# over it.

This could be a C# 7sus4 or something like that; dom 7th sus 4th. Or an Eadd9 if you use the open E as a drone maybe?

That's a G# minor 7th. G#, B, F# -> 1, b3, 7. It can't be a sus chord 'cause it has a third.

I love add9 chords. So does The Police, apparently.

[Blurillaz]

movable forms yeah!

you can bend the top c# up to a d for 4th magic time!
