I have always been fond of 6add9 chords because they wrap you in a warm blanket on a trip to dreamland. lol

    I’ve been obsessed with Dadd9 lately, because it sounds great on my baritone ukulele and I can go to so many different places from it. (I guess technically on the uke it’s a Dsus2 (0230), since I replace the 3rd with the 2nd.)

      Try 4230 on your baritone ukulele, a Dadd9 with the 3rd on the lowest string. Sounds nice on my tenor guitar (tuned d-g-b-e like a baritone ukulele with steel strings). Add9- and sus2-chords are two of my favourite chords at the moment actually:-)

      I am noodling around a progression that goes like this: 0022 (G5) 0230 (Dsus2) 2030 (Em7) 2002 (Emadd9)

        This is lovely! I changed it a little bit and I have a sweet progression!

        I’m doing:

        0230 0232 2030 2032 2002 2003 2005 0000 0222

        And on the second time the last bar:

        022x 023x

      Nice. Add ninth chords are so enigmatic and soothing.

      I mean… you can’t ignore its sedative quality, but it has been very much overused by indie pop artists and lost its meaning. We need a break from maj7 for a while.

    I like sus2 chords. With a sus4 chord, even if I hear it in isolation without context, like if I just pulled out a guitar and played an Asus4, I feel the 4th wanting to resolve down the major 3rd. If I did the same thing with an Asus2, it sounds like it’s own lovely, complete thing to me.

      Asus2 is A B E which rearranged is A E B going around the circle of fifths. That may be why.

    I also like regular add9 chords because they are the most recent pop trend.
