Bullshit. There's an F in the chord the way I play it.

It's a basically a G minor bar chord with your pinky moved up to play a C on the G string. My music theory is a little rusty so whatever the proper name for that chord, that's what it is.

Whether there's a piano playing under it or not, the chord is no big mystery. Certain types of science and Math nerds love to over-mythologize anything to do with the Beatles.

Interesting read. Every guitar player calls is a Beatle chord ... Csus9, I think ... Tab = X32033 But, everytime I try to play it ... doesn't sound close.

That BIG chord is similar to the final chord that ends A Day In The Life ... a whole lotta notes ... a layer of instruments

to me, there was something really irritating about the way the noiseaddicts.com piece was written, but the .pdf file linked in the article is quite interesting. The analysis of the chord and its components are made using the same technology that has allowed the development of Melodyne's DNA which has now had its release date pushed forward to early 2009. If you haven't already seen the demo of this, it might be worth watching...a true Pandora's box in the making.
