Augmented chords are used to create tension and, in most cases, facilitate resolution. In this lesson I show you not only how to play augmented chords and their variations on the guitar neck, but also how they function in progressions.
We start with augmented triads, moving on to augmented 7th chords, learning how they can function in chord progressions.
Later in the video I show you a nifty trick for playing/accompanying augmented chords fluidly, anywhere on the neck, based on their "symmetry". So make sure you stick around for that! - Hudba
I have a feeling I'll be back to watch this one multiple times.
Have the same feeling too
@@gigi78222 me too
Me too
Grabbed a pencil and paper
I bounce between this one and Jake at Signal Studios lol
First time augmented chords have made sense! AMAZING!
Thank you. 😀
First lesson about aug chords that really made me hear them differently and understand more about their characteristic. How come noone teaches us about aug chords symmetry! And your progression examples are really fantastic, thanks!
holy shit dude, one of the best theory videos, i really loved the progression examples
The best free guitar lesson i've ever seen. Thank you so much for sharing.
Best guitar Teacher in CZcams
I couldn't live without your channel. Thanks.
Always a treat to see fretjam pop up .
The best lesson on augmented chords. The examples used for application is amazing. Most people never go into how to use these chords. Amazing job.
Great lesson as usual. This one specifically opened new doors for me. Thanks Mike.
Glad it helped. It's been a while, but new lesson on its way tomorrow.
That very last progression is absolutely beautiful.
Great explanation. In some music theory classes they usually explain the augmented chords but not how to use them in a key context, what is the most important thing.
I cannot thank you enough for your lessons. These are just so brilliant and well structured!
Congratulations dude you are totally the first person that has made any sense of theory for me. I watch and rewatch (and rewatch) so could be just the 'sinking in' thing but I'm pretty sure its your explanations. This lesson in particular. Thank you.
21:14 You saved the best for last. I also like the one at 10:12
These lessons are so well put together. I have learnt so much already
These lessons are literally the best, this lesson alone taught me so much
An absolutely fantastic explanation. Thank you.
Your lessons are really something else. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, truly. Great work!!
Lessons don't get any better that this...!!!
Dayyumm one of the best lessons I've learned since the quarantine. This is a gateway chord!
Could you expand as to how it relates to the whole tone scale???
Good idea
Thank you fretjam... you are the best
Awesome video! The Guess Who's "Laughing" and Oasis' "Let There Be Love" use augmented chords unashamedly. Love it!
Oh yeh "Let There Be Love" is a beautiful example of an augmented tonic chord.
Awesome stuff and above all, I loved the iim7b5 > V13 > I+M7 > Iadd6/9 vibe! Thanks for sharing!
Love your teaching style.
Great tutorial. Many thanks! Will definitely visit this video often!
Very enjoyable lesson. It is truly clear and it has got me nearer to understand the augmented chords. + in fact nice progressions.
*awesome* lesson. Thank you- I love augmented chords & this has given me a lot to think about. Very inspiring! 🍻
This is the best lesson on Augmented chords on YT!
Thank you!
Very clearly explained. Thank you.
Very very good lesson!
WELL DONE, EASY TO FOLLOW.
Excellent. I knew about the symmetry of diminished chords (based on an octave consisting of 3 stacked minor 3rds) but I never thought about a symmetry based on major 3rds.
Excellent lessons!
Amazing job you've been doing with this channel! Let me tell you I am from Guatemala and just found it! And I was so educated with only one vídeo I just watched and from now on totally suscribed and aware in order to get mire vídeos and learn! THANK YOU from the deep of my heart!
Thank you my friend. So glad I could help.
Exellent explanation, thank you!
Brilliant & Clever as always ! Thanks
Great graphics!!! Thanks bro
Thanks for providing precious info !!!!
Due to symmetry, augmented chords divide the octave in three equal parts (12/3 = 4) and it implies that augmented chords have four possibilities of transposition (C-E-G#, Db-F-A, D-F#-A#, Eb-G-B). By means of enharmonic spelling, an only augmented chord has three possibilities of resolution. For instance, CAug (C-E-G#) can resolve into a F major chord, into a Db major chord (Ab-C-E leads to Db major ) and into a A major chord (E-G#-B# leads to A major). All these resolution chords have a intervalic relation of major third each other.
Excellent channel and video. Greetings from Bogotá, Colombia.
Tough subject & you made it simple. Thank You.
Genious and superb Professor...only from U.K.!!!
Thanks for the lesson
This is soooo great! Kudos
This is just awesome. Thank you.
Excellent explanation.....thanks bro
I cannot praise this channel highly enough. These videos are so informative and helpful, can't wait for the next one whatever the topic is going to be!
Thank you so much for this!
8:15 first chord change of Prince Purple Rain
Impeccable video.
Another simple lesson 👍
sir, these videos are awesome
Not something I'll, be using often but still, interesting! Thanks for sharing!
great lessons,...
These graphics are the very best; we see the fretboard from the angle of the player, not upside own; and no video fingers obstructing what's going on.
Very good. Thanks 🙏

Solid!! Thanks!
The best channel

Thank you!
As always at the top.i always enjoy whatever you droped here since.
i just have small question. if you don't mind .what software do you always use for your guitar lessons? thanks in advance.
Nice video, pretty informative, could you do such a video for diminished chords as well?
Such a cool sound. Very Pink Floyd
Us & Them!
Cool stuff
great stuff! btw the audio to the last example is a semitone flat of the written diagrams.
Still brilliant! Where have you been Mike?
Thank you.
Short version for those who already know the basics of functional harmony, and who are here mostly for music theory: augmented chords tend to function as either less stable mediants or dominants without the tritone - and they're symmetrical, so you can invert them as much as you like without changing any of the internal intervals. (I'm mostly explaining this to myself, but if it helps someone else understand things a little better I consider that a good thing)
Thanks broooooo!!!
Thank you
Hi! coming soon I buy your course, this argoment are present in the books? are there a list of progressions similar to this one? and in general, are there a list of common and uncommon progressions? I'm curious! your video are amazing!
Thanks
Augmented chords are where I draw the line. I got enough problems with the other ones and all.
Good to see you rocking fretjam.
:-)
+123ubuntu666 Yeh aug chords are more like a "nice to know". If you're still working on other chords I'd focus on those. These can wait.
The chord progression at 5:59 is actually the same chord progression as Last Night on Earth by Green Day and No 1 Party Anthem by Arctic Monkeys
i am really appreciated
Thank you thank you thank you thank sir
Here is a lot of cords i dont know name of in my song writing,,,now i know👍
You are the best
Salam terimakasih from Indonesia..Horas from Samosir Island.
brilliant
Great!
Wow Thank U Thank you thank u....!!
I love you!
you would be one trippy dude to jam with
Thank you for this video, it’s amazing how something I have always found confusing because of the terminology used, can be shown so simply. I have a few questions though, that I think has an obvious answer but...the Augmented chord is a major chord? When you replaced the Bm with it, it changed to a B7 which is a Dominant 7 right? (I know you said it’s an ‘altered’ dom7 so I get that bit) but you showed it from the 4th chord, the 5th and now changing the m3 to a Major....! Still confused.
Best teory
Yeah actually can be function for resolution too Tonic or chord changes ( same function like diminished). We can go Melodic minor half step above root of chord ( + ), and whole tone on root of chord exactly.
Can you elaborate on this?
Tq sir
Thank you so much for the lesson! Where can we get the chord charts & tabs please?
Thanks for your time! Lesson page linked in the description, cheers.
at 18:45 dude you've gotta do a "Dark Star" cover
Great video. Is the guitar a real recorded guitar or a synthesized MIDI guitar?
+Francesco P It's real. There are a ton of tuning imperfections if you listen closely that I wouldn't be able to resist correcting if I was using midi!
Good lesson mate 👍 I don't use augmented chords very often - I think Oh Darling by the Beatles is about the only one I know, with the 1st chord being E aug if I'm not mistaken...... But now I'm very confused.
The D7 chord @ 06:11. I always play D7 as fret 2 on the high E & G strings and fret 1 on the B string.....but your D7 is on frets 2,3,5 on the high E, B, and G strings respectively.
Why is that please? Is it a different D7? What sorcery is this?
+Jammy Git It's just a different ordering of tones from 4th to 1st string. By placing the b7 on the 3rd string we can create a smoother voice leading effect as per the example. Love the name btw!
Thank you so fucking much man!!! Grettings from Argentina!!!
+Ivory Eats The World Greetings! Thanks for your time.
No!, thanks to you for the time you take to make these videos, which surely must be a lot. Thanks for the information and the excellent way to teach you have, greetings and have an excellent year!
Nice man, I really like your vídeos. Can you talk about superimposing pentatonics? (And sorry for the bad english)
Thanks! Could you describe what you mean by superimposing pentatonics? It could be interpreted a number of ways.
fretjam, this will be really hard... I am from Brasil (and greates from Brasil) superimposing is something about use more than the pentatonic of the key center (again, sorry for the bad english)
+gabriel hamilton Ah cool. I was actually planning something along those lines.
fretjam I will wait for the vídeo, thank you. Parabéns pelo seu trabalho aqui!
a good example is "Baby Hold On To Me" by Eddie Money
5:26 Space Oddity by David Bowie
Wow, that's a lot of info packed into twenty minutes. Very useful, but I struggled to keep my concentration going.
Are there other symmetrical chords like that this???
6:00 Hangar 18?
I thought the same thing
