    F isnt a major 7 interval from A.

    Am7M or A minor major 7 would be A C E G# and not ACEF.

    ACEF = R (F) - (Major 3rd) A - (Perfect 5th) C - (Major 7th) E

    im guessing its the 1st inversion of the F amjor chord and is hence known as F/A.

    I have tried to construct all the alternate names for this chord: some one pls. check them and correct if wrong-

    F /A
    Am /5+ /F
    C sus4 add13 /F

    so um.. thats it...

    thx deathdr for replying ! i was losing hope
    .. ya i wrote that by mistake. Am/5+ shud be the correct alternative (R-b3-5-#5) .

    but i guess C sus4 add13 /F would be wrong coz relative to C as root, uve taken the 3rd interval note also (E note) . i dont know what add13 implies but as far as i know the 3rd interval is not taken in a sus4 chord (Csus4 = R 4 5 )

    i think an alternative name for chord can be C add11/add13 (if add13 stands for including the 6 th interval). what say ?? :think:

    and plz answer the other two questions in my previous post.
    besides i have new question :beer: .. whats a "tonal centre" ?? :think:

    ok first thingsd first:

    ACF = F/A = Am/5+/F = C sus4 add13 /F

    ACEF = Fmaj7/A = Am add 13- = C6 add11 / A = E sus4 add 9- /5+ /A

    dont ask me why im doing this a day before my final exams....

    i am off to study - sorry i w0nt even bother reading ur other questions - ill enver end up studynig...

    also abt tonal centre (i couldnt resist) - its the note around which a chord is based...

    normally its the root note - but sometimes it isnt... now as such wee seen that chords have several names... but in a song ud refer to a chord according to the ntoe u want it to be centred around
