what is this chord

I just got the nice flovor of chord A by moving little fingure to 7th fret B string.

A* = 575675

How can i symbolize it?

Using this i formed the following progression that sounds superb to me...

A, A*, D, A

Strumming...

down rest up up down up

 

Hi Amit,
In which order have you mentioned A*, is it EADGBE or other way round?

 

Untill otherwise mentioned, the standard if EADGBE.

BTW DrSaurabh told me that its A7add13

 

Ok ya, G and F# are the 7th and 13th notes respectively.

 

ahaan...good one dude

 

A/G maybe....
but this is just a guess

 

A7add13th is fine.

It's also an F#mb9

 

:shock:
:shock:

 

pleasing..

 

i have q here.
how cum same chord has diff names?
are chords diff in diff scales? i.e. is Am in C scale is diff from Am in G scale??

 

Sometimes 2 different chords have the same notes....only difference lies in roots, approach etc.

eg...a C major 7th chord has the following notes...

C G E B


However....3 of these notes G E and B together make an E minor chord. So a C major 7th is the same as an Em/C
