I'm happy for any opinions, suggestions on formatting, chord naming conventions or if you spot any errors. I wish you numbered them or something so I could help pinpoint corrections. First line, 2.A(no 5th). 5. Just "A", the lowest bass note is open, not A/C#. 6.A7/G the fingering should be 201110. 7.A7/G 231110. 8. A/Bb. 10.Am(b9) 11. Em7b5/A. Second line: 1. A7b9, 2.A(b9)/G (Sometimes I finger 201310), 3.A(b9), 4. A(b9), 5.A(b9 no 3rd), 6.A(b9 no 3rd) 7. A(b9). Instead of "add 9-" it is easier (b9) IMO. Third line: 4. Am(b9)/E. Seems there are some flamenco A chords missing. Am(9)? Not sure off hand, I dont' have time to check. Rather than re formatting, I was always hoping folks would simply add their own chords to the original thread...not any old chord, but "special" ones that come from flamenco guitar specifically. Oh yeah, 4th line, "A#" chords:1. Not a classical "chord". A chord must have 3 or more different notes. This is just an interval, minor second plus octave. I think of it as "A(b9) no 3rd or 5th". So pretty silly to name it even. 2. A(b9)sus4 or Asus4(b9), which ever you like better, 3. YIKES! Sure you want that E bass note? There are many ways to name this, but all proper names would be pointless. Basically the harmony is Bb, and the bass line is moving either from D up to this E on the D string, or F down to E. Either way I would just describe as "Bb(#11)/E" in context, 4. Sure you DON'T want the top E string to ring? If it is ok, then C9 (no 5th). 5. hmm, very "modal" sounding phrygian chord. Bb(#11)/A is best IMO. The proper naming of these things will get more complex than the litteral function is meant to sound. In most cases you can just refer to "por medio" or "flamenco A chord" or "Flamenco Bb" or "si bemol" etc... Ricardo
