Sense I Am a "musician", thus low income achiever, I have an easy way to get more mileage on the chord I know. 
 
Example: If you discover a cool chord voicing and you love the way it sounds as a say Major type chord 
When you put a specific bass note under the cool chord voicing you get a whole new sound out of the cool chord voicing
 
Say I play the notes B (D string/9th fret) F# (G string/11th fret) G (B string/8th fret) D (E string/10th fret) 
 
This chord voicing equals = 1.GMaj7 sound or 2.Emin7 sound or 3. A7 sound or 4. Db half diminished sound 5. Eb7alt sound
 
Sense I only know music in Am I now know a new CMaj7#11 / Amin7/ D7 / Gb half diminished/ Ab7 alt chord! 

Music theory?  Ah, my bad.  I thought you were talking about these:
 

This chord voicing equals = 1.GMaj7 sound or 2.Emin7 sound or 3. A7 sound or 4. Db half diminished sound 5. Eb7alt sound
 
 
 
Stop Pm'ing me! There is no  6. None of the above   or 7. cramps  or 8. Yo momma 

Speaking of your favorite lick...yours can be used with the above also. 
 
Example: take your favorite blues lick in Am
 
Play it with a CMaj7#11 then D7 then Gb half diminished then Ab7 alt chord then an E Aeolian vamp then B Phrygian etc.

Could do that, yes..hmm...good thinking...
 
 
 
Actually I have NO idea what any of that means.

It's at this point, Bill, that you don't want to be standing too close to that crash cymbal. Digging the shrapnel out can waste valuable rehearsal time and the keyboardist's mom has to pick him up early for a dentist's appointment.

Thanks Bill.......I'll mess around with these.......although I think I may already be doing this (unknowingly). I love 7th's, minor 7ths', and all the fixin's that go with the main course.

I only need Power 5th chords 'cause I play RAWK!
