I've found 2 chords that I quite like the sound of in my song, and they look like this

X
7
7
5
3

What's their names?! Been trying to figure it out myself, but my brain just won't comply.

Hi the chords names for the 1st are:
C5add9add#11 C 5th Add 9th Add Sharp 11th
C5add9addb5 C 5th Add 9th Add Flat 5th
Csus2add#11 C Suspended 2nd Add Sharp 11th
Csus2b5add5 C Suspended 2nd Flat 5th Add 5th
GM7sus4/C G/C Major 7th Suspended 4th
D11/C D/C 11th

2nd chord:
C5add#11 C 5th Add Sharp 11th
C5addb5 C 5th Add Flat 5th
GM7sus4/C G/C Major 7th Suspended 4th

There's so many names for one chord due to the context they are played in.

Hope that helped

It depends on which note is the root.
And here's another list just to confuse you further. They can be interpreted lots of ways.
Chord 1 can be:
C G D F# = Cadd#11 sus2
G D F# C = G maj7 sus4
D F# C G = D 11
F# C G D = F# dim add b9 b6 (impossible)

Chord 2 can be:
C G F# = C add #11 (no 3rd)
G C F# = G maj 7 sus 4 (no 5th)
F# C G = F# b5 add b9 (no 3rd)

That's a lot of chord names! Thanks!
And now, I got curious and my mind wants knowledge...

What makes it impossible, a condradiction perhaps, but where?

[randomaire]

well I know what x3556x is thats a Csus4 or Fsus2
and the x3566x is C7sus4, Fsus2sus4


Did you try the 6th string to see how it sounds? I can't think of any 7 string position though. Or at least I've not seen any like that.

[randomaire]

Either way though that 7 is quite the stretch especially the x3577x

What I mean is that (as far I know) there is no musical context in which F# could function as the root of that chord. We'd always hear one of the other notes as the more sensible root. It's like taking the notes of A minor (A C & E) and calling it E sus 4 b6. based on the root E. That's possible in theory, but not in practice, as we'd always hear it as plain old A minor built on the root A, not E sus4 b6.

I found a chord that sound good in my opinion.
I am not able to name it.
It's 12123 (from the lower string)....
It's unusual to me because have no 5°, and I'd like to know it's name.
The context is Bm7,A9,these chord,Em7/9#
Thank in advance

The chord is played on strings 6, 5, 4, 3, & 2, right? - String 1 is not played? (12123X)
Or are you starting from string 5 to string 1? (X12123)
