What's this Chord??

LasTime

Hi, does any body know the name of the chord below. Perhaps ignore the base note to figure it. It sounds good and I came across it in a tab so it must be a chord

Assuming it's in standard guitar tuning, the notes are (from low to high):
E - A - C# - F

Therefore it's an F augmented major seventh chord (F+maj7 would be one way to write it in shorthand) in third inversion.

Alternatively, the C# could be read as Db (E - A - Db - F), which I guess would be a Db augmented with an augmented ninth, again in third inversion.

The first is probably the more common description anyway, but it technically depends on function/context.


Without the bass note E, the chord would be just (reading C#) Faug in first inversion, or (reading Db) Dbaug in second inversion.

Are you playing it as part of a song, or just figuring out the chord on its own?

If it's in a song, could you post the rest of the progression it belongs to?
