The chorderator is almost right LOL. That's an old folky chord, Paul Simon, along with the rest of the folksong army, used the old x54030 It functions as a D chord with two drone strings. I would call a Dadd9add11. (As a general rule, folks use the numbers 2 and 4 when they are replacing a 3, which suspends the chord from being major or minor. When it's the 4, it is the garden variety suspended chord, when it is the 2 it is the Edmund Fitzgerald chord, the sus2. For chords already major or minor, they use 9, 11, and 13.) I wouldn't bother with the "no 5" because the chord would not be changed in effect if you added the 5: 554020 The chord is best arpeggiated (not played all notes played at once) or fingerpicked.


You've got to know your limitations. I don't know what your limitations are. I found out what mine were when I was twelve. I found out that there weren't too many limitations, if I did it my way. -Johnny Cash
