Name this chord
How would you name these chords? Note the tuning:
DADGBe 007650 and DADGBe 007657 Inquisitive musical novices want to know...

it's easy if you're not playing the D in the bass 6th string. However, assuming that you are including that D, the first one is a D major9th. The second one is a D13, perhaps a Dmajor 13 with the major 7th present (C#).
Without that low D, you simply have an A and an A9th

That first one is a great alternative to an x02220 A chord, whether or not the low string is dropped to 'D'. You lose the 5th of the chord, but in return you get an A chord that really rings out. It goes very nicely with the following E7 chord:
(E)ADGBE (0)76750 - basically a C7 chord up a few frets... In drop-D, just thumb out the low string.

Thanks
I was in dropped D last night, and "found" this chord. I played an uptempo alternating bass line with a melody on top, and it sounded kinda nice.

Chords
Just to slightly correct Doogie a bit, my jazz harmony prof in college said a 13 chord had to have a dominant 7th in it (in the case of a D chord, that would be a C natural, not a C#) - in that case I would call the 2nd chord a D maj9 add6. Normally, a 13th is voiced a maj 7th (one step short of an octave) above the dominant 7th, but one of the things big band arrangers like to do is put the 13th & the dom. 7th right next to each other, a 1/2 step away, to create a more dissonant sound (usually this is buried whithin the chord w/ other chord tones above). Donald Fagen also is a master of this in his vocal writing - check out "Maxine" & "Ruby, My Dear Ruby"on his 1st solso album. In standard guitar tuning, you can experience this kind of 13th chord like this D13:
x54500 More than you wanted to know, I'm sure... P.s, just for fun, in standard tuning what would y'all call this chord (I call it "F rich"): 133030

I would call the first chord D/A. Basically an A chord with a D note for the bass.
If not counting the 6th string and using the A note on the 5th string as the root note, the second chord is an Aadd9. 9th, 11th, 13th chords REQUIRE the 7th to be present. Since there is no 7th present in x07657, it's a add9 chord rather than a 9th chord. If counting the D on the 6th string as the root note, I guess you can call it either D/Aadd9 or Dmajor13 like what Doogie mentioned. GL

Ya got me Tom. It's A/D. I always seem to get it backwards all the time with those slash chords. To further correct myself, that 2nd chord I mentioned should then be Aadd9/D but I like jazzer's Dmaj9 add6 better.
