An easy way to figure out 5 chords is take the root...

Use A5 for instance..
Take the ROOT (A) and count five over....

1-A......2-B....... 3-C...... 4-D...... *5-E*

So, the a5 chord is just an A and an E on the string below!

gumbo thats not a good explanation at all... you didnt explain how to count... all he sees could be you going from letter to letter. you didnt explain:

1/Root W 2 W 3 H 4 W 5 W 6 W 7 H 8/Octave

examples:
C D E F G A B C
G A B C D E F# G

where W = whole step between them and H = half step.

ALSO:

A7 is Adom7 NOT Amaj7. for the dom7 a b7 is required NOT a 7. b7 = half a step below the 7th interval.

Cool, I never thought of it that way.
Forget about the reasons and the treasons we are seeking
Forget about the notion that our emotions can be swept away, kept at bay
Forget about being guilty, we are innocent instead
For soon we will all find our lives swept away

You know, DMBFan, that's how I always played an A7, but when I actually looked it up, it was X02020... weird. Which one is it for real, just out of curiousity? Does anyone have a definitive answer?
