It's a moveable chord but my example will be in 5th position...

E-------0-----
B-------0-----
G-------9-----
D-------7-----
A-------5-----
E-------------

I would say A dim with D in the base (Ao/D)

Guys? the instrument of the guitar is still an evolving thing.

-Yes. Even today.

When playing a tune -the kind of tune...the Key of your tune,...the "social" roots (genres like jazz, rock, and contemporary) and what phrasing you (the artist) want to hang on the wall of your sound in your song; at-that-given- time, determines the essential name of that chord. Chords can be called two different equally correct names. Chord nomenclature is properly IDed because of frequency of use by mankind himself. Majors, minor, augmented, diminished, and suspended (in this degrading order) are better and more easily named than the last of the families listed (suspended). Then your "split" chords, dbl octave type-chords, etc. To me, music is essentially "pitch over time". So these chords are all made up of intervalic pitches (low to high) over some groovy beats. Yeah! The stand-out genre that mucks everything up is jazz because of "the 7th". Of course, music is theory and theory is only opinion.

Anyway, naming chords in a forum like this is fantastic fun because we are all guitarists but from all different walks of life.

Cheers!

Hey bribanez, the chord you are playing in this instance is a Asus4add2. If you want it to be a moveable chord than you can only play the 3rd, 4th, and 5th strings to give it a set chord name. By playing just those 3 strings you are playing the first inversion of a sus4 chord with the root being played on the 4th string. If you were to play all 5 strings holding that form up and down the fretboard you will be playing all different types of chords. For example, if you were to play all 5 strings with your first finger on the 7th fret, you would be playing a Esus2, the root being the first note you play. Get the picture.
