    I play keyboard sometimes to switch things up, one of the things I like to do and on my guitar as well is piecing together chords or things I think sound nice.

    What kind of chords are these and what do you maybe think of the sound?
    I already forgot.... but took pictures of 2 of them this time.

    Looks like the first chord is a fully diminished chord. Any of those notes can be the root interval since it’s a symmetrical chord (all minor 3rds). The second chord is what I perceive as an Ebmin11(maj7). You have a D, Eb, F, Gb, Ab. Eb and Gb make your 1 and b3. D is your major 7th. F is your 2, or 9. Ab is the 4, or 11. There’s no 5th (the Bb) so this could be used in a jazz context. The fully diminished chord can be used in any genre really.

    Excuse me but on the second picture, does he play D, Eb, F, Gb, Ab instead ?
