I've just been thinking on this and I'm curious what kind of dissonant sounding chords you all use in your playing.

Tritones are always great if you want a real dissonant sound.

C-F# (C with an augmented fourth, or diminished fifth; however you want to look at it) for example:


E-x
B-x
G-x
D-4
A-3
E-x

These are some of the most dissonant guitar sounds you can play on the guitar:
http://chord-a-day.blogspot.co.uk/search/label/dissonant%20chords

All of these chords use clusters of semitones e.g. E F F# G G# A
To play them on the guitar some have to be shifted up/down an octave - but if you're looking for dissonant guitar chords, this is about as dissonant as it gets!

V7b9 or in blues V7#7.
Play the Super Locrian (the altered) scale over the first chord and the ordinary Blues scale over the second chord..
