I've been writing a lot of fun party-energy type riffs lately. I've been using a ton of "fun" chords to give the music momentum.

What would you consider the most "fun" chords on the fretboard of a guitar?
 
Re: What do you think the most "fun" chord is?

D because you can pedal on and off all kinds of variations of it for cool lil licks.

G in the first position. I love those open strings ringing out to feedback and annoying my bass player.

I like easy chords. G's, A's, D's, C's (the first chord I learned), E's, F's (though I don't use the bottom two strings for what ever reason), and B's are my go to's. If It's something like a G#m then I'll just play a G# power chord.

G major is either the first or last chord in the sequence that includes Em and D2/F#.

That's the only pretentious made for piano chord that has absolutely no reason for existing... that I like the sound of.

Easy and pretty.

I actually like Gno3 .... even more so if followed by F2.

Anytime i see #5#7 faggotry... You are getting an octave chord or a fill. I ain't no time for that mess.

No guitar player in his right mind has time for all that .... or for changing chords eight times per measure. The problem is not ego driven posers. It's piano playing composers.

Simple big A chord in open position. I use it for making sure I'm in tune, making sure my amp is EQ'd properly, and warming up (riffs in and around A).

It's my most fun chord because of all the fun riffs that stem either from A itself or pedalling on the A string.

Chords like that are fun. Thirds are for the birds!

I play G5 like so (allows "regular" open G positioning, without shifting up and thumb wrapping):

1 - 3
2 - 3
3 - 0
4 - 0
5 - X (dead out with index finger)
6 - 3

Three of my other favorite multi-octave 5th chords:

D5:

1 - 5
2 - 3
3 - 2
4 - 0
5 - X
6 - X

A5:

1 - 5
2 - 5
3 - 2
4 - 2
5 - 0
6 - X

E5:

1 - 12
2 - 12
3 - 9
4 - 9
5 - 7
6 - 0
