December 26, 200817 yr i've met this chord many times this chords only use in guitar tab is like that -0- -0- -0- -0- -3- or -4- -4- -6- -4- -6- -2- -4- some tab site called them As or Bs exactly what chords are they? and how to make like that chord?
December 26, 200817 yr If they're used in the same piece, then they're probably just using the E and B strings as constant tones, kind of like pedal tones. The first one is an F#Major chord with an added B and E - the second is a G#Minor chord with and added E. So it would be F#MajorMinor7add4 and G#MinorAdd6, if you just think about classification of the tones involved. If, on the G# chord there is an E in the bass, then it would be a EMM7 chord, and the guitar only contains the upper notes. As far as making chords with similar sounds, experiment with using familiar chords, especially bar chords, with open strings. I recently broke my B string, and instead of replacing it I've been using it to create some interesting sounds. I'm not suggesting that you break a string, that's just one method :D Also, watch this video:

December 26, 200817 yr I honestly wouldn't worry about chord names or even functions once you start getting way out there and way specific, so long as you understand how they function in your piece.
December 27, 200817 yr The first chord, the F#11, is also called by some the Rush chord. Alice in Chains also uses it in their song "Rooster."
