What...In your guys' opinion is the greatest chord of all time...I would have to say either the Dominant 7 add 2 or Dominant 7 #9 that's a killer one.

Its the first chord he plays. It sounds really warm and Jazzy

You know what, I'm going to go a step further and say C9 add 10. I'm playing it on my acoustic guitar and it's freaking haunting.

it's an F#7/11
Overwhelming, quite a RUSH
