my least favorite and hated chord (and i find this kinda cool) is Gm played like 3x033x. i absolutely dispise that. But like capo 2 and it's ok.

i think i really like G and the reason it's cool is cuz Gm would be the opposite (kinda).
Capo 2? so like...3X233X? that's a Gm6...sounds great when used properly...
to me, the 6 chords are the most underused and underestimated chords there are
I love them and utilize them a lot in writing...fantastic chord...they're really great for moving around because you don't have to worry about all that parralel motion crap w/ them.
but parallel motion is fun elliot!

Another form of Aadd9 I like is 002420. I love to noodle around with those to end say goodbye. The last chord of warehouse, 024100 (Eadd9?) I often play in place of E, especially on my electric. The two lovely lady chords in Crush I just love the sound of (557--- and 779--- in drop D). I There's this chord in the alternate chorus of Minarets that is something like 007604 that is gorgeous. The chords in Let You Down are okay by themselves, but beautiful when played together.
I Like A7sus4 (002030) as well.
you do realize those crush chords are the same as 357XXX that you're probably very familiar w/ right?
I know. Thats why I said Drop-D so no one would get confused.

I like major 9ths, but also major 7ths, they have that spooky, mysterious quality to them. Especially Fmaj7 and Cmaj7.
