I cant quite work out exactly what this chord is. Who can?

Fsus2 and you can add the barre note on the high E string

But if F where the root that would mean the B is the flat 5? So it must be some kind of dimishished chord then

Emin second inversion with F in bass.
or simply Em/F
Lethe
Looking at it in terms of F we'd have:
root
dim 5th
Maj 7th
9
not sure what to call that...
Bob-Dubery
If I read this right you have
F on the 5th
C on the 4th
F on the 3rd
G on the 2nd
An F would be FAC
Here we don't have the 3rd but we do have a 2nd
So ja, I agree with Gearhead Fsus2
Lethe
F C F G?
I see F B E D... o.O

Fmaj(#11) no 3rd here tho, but with the major 7th i doubt it has the minor 3rd hiding on some other instrument. of course we only have the root to prove its an F chord. if the bass is playing a D note then this is a Dm13(no 5th) root(D) b3(F) b7(C) 9th(E) 11th(G) 13th(B)
some people prefer Fmaj9(#11) like this but it still has no 3rd
e 0 = E = maj7
B 0 = B = #11
G 0 = G = 9th
D 3 = F = root
A 3 = C = 5th
E 1 = F = root
true Fmaj9(#11) with 3rd
e 0 = E = maj7th
B 0 = B = #11th
G 2 = A = maj3rd
D 5 = G = 9th
A 3 = C = 5th
E 1 = F = root
Fmaj7(#11) used by anyone who has played some steve vai... "For The Love Of God" i think is the name of the track
e 0 = E = maj7th
B 0 = B = #11th
G 2 = A = maj3rd
D 3 = F = root
A 3 = C = 5th
E 1 = F = root
quite a common chord as it is diatonic(in the key of) C major.
Hope you had as much fun as i did...

Well Ive been open to the idea that it could be an inversion and thus the F does not imply that it is the root. If F where the root it would be a weird chord as you said Lethe.
If B is the root it would have: B(Root), E(11th), F(flat 5/13/dimished), G(9th), now this has no 3rd or 7th so is this even a chord? So I rule B out as root.
If E is the root it would have E(Root), G(minor 3rd), B(5th), F(flat 9th) so this could possibly be Em add b9 (or is it Em add 9?)
If G is the root it would have G(Root), B(major 3rd), E(6th or 13th), F(major 7th) so this could possible be Gmaj13
Now G as a root is looking pretty sexy. UNLESS, the root is not played, in which case its even more difficult to figure out the correct name for this chord. If I may offer more clues..
It is in the key of C major, and the G note happens to be a melody note for the song "Satin Doll" by Duke Ellington, so it could very well be that the chord is altered to accomodate the melody note. The chord that follows this one is Gdom9.
ryanguit. I think you are onto somethign too. Could quite possibly be Fmaj9#11, but just without the 3rd, or as you said, the Dm13. Which would make sense, as the song is in C major, and the tonal centre of the song is around Dm

Ja. A classic case, on my part, of working with what you thought you saw.
Though I stand by the G.

Same here :-[
Lethe
Hehehe, are you guys getting old ?
Gearhead
Yeah one day at a time, same like everyone else :-\
Lethe
I didn't ask "are you getting older?", but "are you getting old?"
There is a difference.
A twelve year old gets older, but isn't old.
Why so stiff?
Gearhead
I'm getting a relatively smaller amount older than you, Lethe. Anyway on the one hand I still get estimated twentysomething but on the other the grey hair is showing. Must be all those South Africans I have to deal with ?

I have a 16 year old mind in a 50 year old body.
