i always found B#add9 pretty damn difficult

(I'm waiting for the theory gods to tell me how easy it actually is)

so I'll add this note - i find it hard when i'm using it as a passing chord in the key of C major.

Can anyone help me find a way round this?

Cadd9, but we should see the voicing to confirm

Maybe its just me, but I didn;t have much of a hard time with Metal Ken's 7 string chord. I guess its the overlapping fingers that make it hard.

petrucci uses this chord somewhere i dont remember
chordbook says its a Gsus2(Maj7) and i am in no position to disagree
not that hard to grab, but a little nifty to get it to ring out clean, fast.

e --3----
b --7----
g --7----
d --7----
a --5----
E --3----

all notes should ring out clean, so you are supposed to barr the 7-7-7 with the pinky and still leave the clean g (3rd on e). the stupid thing is that if i remeber correct he just spanks the chord out in the middle of a medium tempo progression like its nothing and then moving on. bastard.

I hate jazz chords, and chords that require your joints to invert to bar parts down. My hands aren't built to do that

I can do the shawn lane chord, surprisingly. ^That JP chord, however, is physically impossible for me.

i have a hard time with both the sad thing with the JP grip is that it is a beautiful chord but it doesn't really help that much to move it up or down, its a bitch anywhere

in fact, its almost harder to grab at say..10-12-14-14-14-10 for me it is as if a shorter stretch means you need to invert the pinky joint even more.

it is a sus2 but it can be played without the notes on the gb and e strings

If you mean ommitting the notes on the top three strings altogether, I totally disagree; leaving out that major seventh note on the B string would totally alter the flavour of the chord.
