I vote for Cmaj7
Its such a sad chord, full of longing and distant subtext.
Mix in in with any simple progression and it widens the field out considerably.

A better thread (lol) would have been The best chord progression ever. A chord on it's own is completely worthless.

A chord on its own is worthless? Remind me to let Paul McCartney know the end of "A Day in the Life" is worthless - I'm sure he'll edit the song to make you happy, James, you freakin' idiot.

listen to guitar trio saved my life. You wont even think about chords when you have a note like that.
Download this EP I made. The songs are pretty close to where they should be. I colaborated with Brian Wilson and Thom Yorke and then we all fucked in my basement apartment. Thom has a really big dick suprisingly, and Brian Wilson cried the whole time, yelling "These moans are not in perfect harmonic unison". Anyway, it sounds like what you would imagine something from that situation sounds like.

That is a great song, but I think you may be overreacting a tad.

It's E for most of the song, but McCartney goes to A at the end of each line. You can hear it in the bass.I hope everyone in this thread dies painfully. Soon.

Tomorrow Never Knows is all one chord, but it's a terrible song.
Also, this thread is just gonna get worse.

A chord on it's own without a band/vocals is not something I would chose to listen to.

yes in theory a chord by itself has nothing special ie Am has the same sound Bm, Cm,
HOWEVER
if you talk about them in the context of playing them on guitar (open form) then they do have a significance since they will be different voicings of the same form

Good choice, but I gotta go Em7. It's the opening chord to "Cortez the Killer." It stills the universe.
Wtf @ theminimuncircus retardly interjecting.

i've always been fond of playing the G chord.
as for which is the best, however, that is an entirely different beast of a discussion
I've got dials and knobs soft to the touch

Em all the way....just think of Country Feedback without it....scary thought.
I have to send out a sentimental honorable mention to D as it was the first chord I learned.
Best progression? G A D all the way... so simple yet so many possibilities.

E major 7th, of course.
American Military Casualties in Iraq
Date Total In Combat
American Deaths
Since war began (3/19/03): 4253 3421
Since "Mission Accomplished" (5/1/03) (the list) 4114 3313
Since Capture of Saddam (12/13/03): 3792 3115
Since Handover (6/29/04): 3395 2798
Since Obama Inauguration (1/20/09): 24 16
The first number is just deaths; the second number is deaths in combat.

As pretty much a lurker for the last 2 years, I love reading this board, but this is the dumbest thread I have ever seen.
