I think I meant 0 2 4 11 12 14 anyway! I've never been very good at fret numbers.

I reckon that's an E5add9 - the 9th is added 3 times for good measure. Stanley Jordan plays the music of Andy Summers, or something

viz

I've never been one to shirk the 9s. I was even considering 2 2 4 4 7 26

Here's another bluesy shape. Depending on whether or not you barre your little finger across the top 2 strings, you get either

E9: 0 11 12 11 12 x

or

E9; 0 11 12 11 12 12

I like that one. A lot :-D

A final contribution for this week's discussion courtesy of the chordmeister supreme, Allan Holdsworth. The strident Dominant chord is transformed into a thing of aching beauty by the addition of an 11th ringing next to the 3rd.

E7add11: 0 14 14 13 10 10

I make that 78 ways of playing an E or E7 chord this week. Well done us! New COTW starts tomorrow :-)

viz

If you were including my 2 2 4 4 7 26, then I might suggest that you downgrade your count to 77.
