The chord is known as the Hendrix Chord-it is a dominant 7#9 chord-it is refered to as the Hendrix Chord because it is most famously used in Jimi Hendrix's song Purple Haze <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> for a live ending of the song, just slow down the tempo after the end on the recording to about 20 bpm, then just have the drummer smash the cymbols and guitar/ bass/keyboard play an E chord thank you- if you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at theoriginalMaxman2@yahoo.com happy playing!-Maxelaxel (aka Max)
