Seeking Dark Moody Chords
I'm on the hunt for chords that have a dark and moody feel to them, but I don't have a wide selection to choose from. Any tips on finding similar chords or harmonies?

Have you tried experimenting with different chord inversions or adding extensions like ninths or elevenths to your chords? That can give them a darker and more complex sound.

If you're into metal music, you could try using power chords or drop tunings to achieve a heavier and darker sound. Experiment with different pedal effects like distortion or reverb to enhance the moodiness of your chords.

I'm new to playing guitar and don't know much about building chords. Can someone explain what inversions and extensions are?

Inversions refer to different ways of playing the same chord by changing the order of the notes. Extensions are additional notes added to the basic triad to create a richer sound. Experimenting with inversions and extensions can help you create unique and moody chord progressions.
