Today's Guitar Chord of the Day is the famous chord used at the end of the Dr No James Bond
theme. You can hear it on youtube here, it's the very last guitar chord you hear and has an unresolved dissonant quality - most of all it sounds pretty cool!
This
James Bond Chord is also know as the '
Spy Chord', but really it's an
E minor Major 9. The first part of the description refers to the 3rd of the chord, the second part to the 7th of the chord: so it has a minor 3rd and Major 7th in.
Here's the fingering for this guitar chord:
Minor major9 chords use these degrees of the major scale: 1, b3, 5, 7, 9
The
E minor major 9 guitar chord uses: E, G, B, D# and F#
Our inversion uses them in this order: E, G, B, D# and F# (you can also optionally let the top E string ring if you want)
