What are your guys favorite chords?

Depends on the scale.

That's like asking what my favorite letter is.

I guess if I had to choose I'd say Lydian delta 9.

omicron persei 8

If you really want to learn some theory there are quite literally dozens of threads on that in here. This is just from this week on this very page:

gotta be about those min sus2's and min sus4's. Boring I know for all the jazz massive but they sound pretty nice (when they are resolved!)

All about the modal floating tonal centers that never resolve.

Which sus chords are also really good at. A sus4 is like a ii-V progression in one chord so it establishes a tonal center quickly.

Just put on a beret and play a bunch of seemingly unrelated sus chords that never resolve to anything. Folded arms, lips puckered, B-boy stance, givin other cats the side-eye. Hip as fuck, namsayin.

min add 2 & min add 4, you mean?

Gettin all pedantic about naming conventions n shit.

I don't know shit about music theory, so when I do chords, I just press three buttons in the scale that have at least one key space between them. (one key in the scale). Sometimes I do 4 keys. Sometimes I don't leave the space between two last keys, so it comes out as a sus chord. Like, press any keys you want just keep them in scale and do music

I dunno I like C D# F chord. And D F A#. And D# F# A#. Every chord is nice

I just feel it when making a chord progression, than there is only one chord that fits after previous, and my job is to find it.

Ok here is my favorite chord.

It is the min9th

The way I shape is as follows:

Take the Bmin9

Take a Dmaj7th chord in its second inversion and put a B under that.

So now you have: B,A,C#,D,F#

That min2nd crush on the C# and D add beautiful dissonance for a nice jazzy approach
EDIT:

The chord is actually in my soundcloud tune right under this

I'm not sure what to call this chord, but here it is from bottom to top:

C, G, D, E flat, B flat, F.

It's like a Cminor 9th with a sus4 or something, but when you voice it that way it sounds dope
