What is this chord?

E:0
B:4
G:4
D:4
A:0
E:0

What would you call this chord? It sounds roughly Eb-ish to me, but I'm not really a good enough musician to figure it out. Thanks guys!

E major eleventh

I don't think thats right.. I'd probably name it an Emaj9sus4 because:

E(1) A(4) F#(9) B(5) D#(7) E(1)

Those, essentially are the intervals you need.. You have the 145 triad that makes the sus4.

To make it a maj11, you'd have to name it differently and try to make it a sus2, but since the 4 is in the same octave as the root, it would make more sense to make it a sus4.

That's tough to name. I like the way Shane did it, it seems closest to me.

EM9sus4 (E Major 9th Suspended 4th) or B11/E. Oh crap just read the post and saw shane already named it hahaha my bad.

I'd call it B7add11.

But there's nothing concerning the 9th in that name.

Yep...ignore me. I am but a humble peasant.

B11 is different from B7(add 11). When it says (add 11) it means ONLY 11, and not anything underneath. B11 means 1-3-5-b7-9-11. B7(add 11) means 1-3-5-b7-11.

Exactly what I would call it. You have a B major triad in second inversion (F#-B-D#), with A (b7) and E (add 11). Essentially, it would be B7(add11)/E.

Sorry, fuck, I was thinking in E and not B. There's obviously no 9th in the chord in B.

Cool thanks for makin me stop thinking I was going mad.

I wasnt in the mood to check back on it properly.

Chords can be named a lot of different things. What it should be called depends on the context it's used in.

Agreed, But theres not that many different things this chord could be called.
