Chord Quiz Wednesday Nov 6
let’s try this one. I’ve played it like this in a song but recently changed to another option that I find a bit easier.

@David Lieder the two shapes I was referring to are the relationship between the notes on the 6th and 5th strings as well as the relationship between the notes on the 6th and 4th strings.
The A flat on 6th and E flat two frets higher on 5th string are a 5th apart and look like an A flat power chord (A flat 5). This is an important shape to know.
Of course, the root could also be called G#.
The note on the 4th string is two strings higher and two frets higher than the A flat on the 6th string. This is an octave shape. And sure enough, the note on the 6th fret of the 4th string is an A flat - an octave above the root on the 6th string. This is another important shape.
I’ll also add that the next note in the chord is a C flat (enharmonic with B), and is one string higher and 2 frets lower than the A flat on the 4th string. This is a minor 3rd shape, which I’ve discussed before.
So just by looking at those shapes, you can suss out that this is some kind of A flat minor chord.
I’ll leave it to others to figure out the remaining notes in the chord.
