Hey, JR,
OK, again, the original chord:
0-11-9-11-0-0
.
You say:
0-2-2-0-0-2 (Eminor add9)? Minor, huh? Now, THAT's some interesting input . . .
.
I tried Em add 9 - it doesn't quite seen the same as E add9. (Yeah, well - of course - major/minor . . .) I guess what I mean is that it doesn't fit the song as well.
.
If you play Emajor add 9
0-2-2-1-0-2, the "1" on the 3rd string is the same note as the "A" string in
0-11-9-11-0-0. Same note.
But - there are other notes . . . .
Theoretically - I don't know enough about it. I admit it.

Maybe it IS an Em add 9 . . .
But, by listening to it, I like the 'Emajor add 9' WAY more than the Eminor add 9.
But - it's almost as if the original chord (0-11-9-11-0-0) has elements of the major and minor at the same time.
.
WEIRD chord. But - I like it. It has it's own emotion attached to it, especially if you follow it with the right chord . . .
But, after this discussion - I don't feel so bad about asking about the chord in the first place!
WEIRD chord. Now I remember why I play music by ear.
.
Thanks for your insight, man. You made me pick up my guitar and try stuff.
.
I wonder if anyone else tried it?
Later.
