Howdy, G-A-B-D-E can be G6/9 A7sus4/9 Bm11/b6 Dsus4 6/9 Em11 depends on which root you look at from it is also all the notes in an E minor or G major pentatonic scale. anything with a pentatonic scale in it will tend to sound good over anything else, especially if you play it with style. if you put that over a C melodic minor (C-D-Eb-F-G-A-B) bass line I think you'd have quite the upper extension party with the minor 3rd, major 3rd and major 2nd all rubbing against each other. Basically it would be a Cminor/maj 7/6 with an added major 3rd for extra oomph. this one doesn't fit into any conventional chord symbol since you have 3 half steps in row there with the D, D# and E all rubbing against each other. ------------- if you put it over an A major bass line, it's a whole different ball of wax, much tamer since the A is already in the upper chord you're wrote. then you just get A7sus4/9 or A mixolydian since you're playing a major 3rd in your bass line. those 8 years of music theory finally paid off. whew. Teddy PS I hope you loop that through some interesting piece of equipment to keep it on topic.
