I feel this is a very Important question for players, that consider them selves intermediate.
This is a very serious question as ,intermediates
are still learning.Including me.

It's the one the rest of the band is playing at the time and how you get there from the previous chord.

I know it's not what you specifically asked, but the Ninth (to the I chord) as a leading note allows you to play with the most chords. I 4 5 2 6 and a few others.
Sus4 or the sus4 note is probably the worst habit as far as playing a chord that wil fit more than one chord if you are not sure.
Back to the question.
Sus4 chords ma7 and dom7th chords unless agreed apon by the other players are the worst habits a player can get into. JMHO

Chords are just a series of landmarks on the road to a destination, which in itself might just be temporary. Think of the chord progression as a road trip--you want to get to where you're going, but take in all the sights on the way. If getting there is important to you, than the I is the most important chord. If you are into the scenic route and back roads, then the V7 is most important.

I, personally, rely heavily on the 7ths (e.g. Maj7)for a lot of effects depending, obviously, on the type of song I'm doing.

| V chord, it's the one that defines what key you're in. |

It's a tie between the one right now and the next one.

 Bill I think some of them are taking the hug and kiss a bit on this one..... but I am with you and I think its a serious question. If I ever get to
intermediate level I may well be able to answer properly but for now I would say this.......
For those among us that have no musical knowledge of chords or music, and I know its not just me... When I started I thought my G was on the 3rd fret no pedals and 10th fret pedals down...I played like that FOR ABOUT 20 YEARS before I found the G on the 6th fret with the E lever raised and my third pedal down!!!WOW! did that open doors for me... for some considerable time after that it was that chord shape that was important to me, now I guess its the chord shape the holds the most melody notes for the tune I am playing....if that makes any sense to the rest of my non educated bretheren?? |

| From a theory point of view, major and minor chords are shared in the various keys, there's a Cmaj7 and a E-7 and A-7 in the key of C and in G and there's an A-7 in the key of F. There is only one dominant chord in each key which is why the cycle V moves through the keys. |

If it's Flamenco it's a half note higher chord, isn't it?

I say the 1.....
If your soloing and don't know the changes, just play over the one. Try it sometime with a rhythm track and use your ear to pick the notes. You can stay at the same fret, pedals up or down using only the A and B pedals.
Saved me many times!
When in doubt, play over the 1.... |

Posted 29 Apr 2011 2:58 pm What I think is the most important chord there is,in any key
|

No -one came close.
I'm not to sure why anyone would say the one,four or five.There is one chord that will lead to around.maybe most don't use it.
No trick questions or answers here.,at all.
Definatly isn't a suspended forth, although It is widely used in singing and playing,millions of songs.
Think in this direction.You are leaving the standard
3 chords in the key of C .
C going to E, Some of you know whats next.Then you will find it.

| If you are playing in the key of C the C is the most important chord or else they wouldn't call it the Key of C. |

| I would say chords that lead you around are 7th's, 9th's, augmented and suspended chords...These would probably be the most widely used in many musical styles... I am going to say that the 7th is probably used more...Carson |

Carson.
You are closer than anyone has appeared.
But it;s not right,But your'e good,and serice.
7th's are fine.Minors are fine.anything else is fine
to talk about.
I will send five bucks to the player who guess the right chord.
The right chord is only my favorite.
Bill
