Augmented chords are awkward, weird, and can seem useless. It took me a while to
eventually grasp on what aug chords are capable of- as well as aug7 (or +7) chords. They're certainly a unique sounding chord, and in this lesson we go over the basics behind how the triad is built, but also how it can be used in musical settings. Depending on your knowledge of music theory, this lesson may get too advanced near the end, but it should be simple to follow for the first half at least.

Here's how Mike Muggli made the ragtime piano bit: Ā Ā Ā ā€¢Ā RagtimeĀ +Ā augmentedĀ chords?Ā AĀ Signals...Ā Ā

I made a mistake when walking through my "ragtime piano chords" piece. I accidentally played a B7 (and said V/ii) instead of a B+ (V+ / ii). Hope you'll forgive me!

If you raise one of the notes of an augmented chord by a half step, you get a minor chord, if you lower one, you get a major chord. And because of the symmetry of the augmented chord, it can be used as a "portal" chord, much like diminished seventh chords.

We literally live in a time, where advanced concepts are taught for free, on demand, not locally limited, to anyone willing to listen and with access to the internet, which is spread almost anywhere.
Can we please take a moment to appreciate that, and to thank Jake Lizardboi for being one of the people making that possible?

ā€œTonal Pugatoryā€. Iā€™ve heard that used to describe my playing more than once.........

Interesting point: You can actually resolve ANYTHING to the 1, as long as it has the 5 note in the bass. So if you make a chord that has an E in the bass and any other notes on top (literally any), then resolve it to an A major (or A minor) chord, it will resolve well. This is a great way of introducing really weird melody notes into your song.

Bach: "Think I'll raise the 7th in minor to get a leading tone." (Harmonic Minor) "Cool! I get a dominant 7th on V, just like in Major! Yay!" (Looks back at the third triad) "What the hell is that?".

If you take an augmented chord and the augmented chord a whole step above if you get the whole tone scale. I feel like that is important when discussing augmented chords

Jake deserves way more subscribers for his intros alone, not to mention the top class content! Thanks brother!

I actually love an augmented chord because it makes me feel sound in a way that I don't with non-augmented chords. It's the anticipation that makes life interesting.

Also worth mentioning that augmented chords contain notes of the whole tone scale. Playing whole tone over an augmented chord in place of the 5 chord sounds super good.

Sorry for the slow upload schedule! I've been active on Patreon lessons but sluggish with
YouTube. Looking to change that this week for a faster delivery of Riffing with Modes #6 =)

Iron Maiden's "Rime of the Ancient Mariner" is a great example of augmented arpeggios (although played on the bass). The augmented tonality alongside the 'creaking boat' sound effects and the guitar swells really creates the ambience of a deserted ship on the water at night.

Man, that Lydian Augmented sounded really cool how it was played. It made me think of the desert at dusk or something or some alien world with a civilization long-gone, dust twirling in the wind.

"What if I told you we could have a whole tonality built around an augmented chord?"

Breaks out some King Crimson.

When I started getting into music theory and I was trying to memorize the circle of fifths I would draw it during the downtime at work, and then like some kind of lovecraftian plot or something I began to see all kinds of patterns in the circle and the relationship between notes that really opened my mind to the brilliance in it's simplicity. augmented is fun since it forms a triangle, drawing a right angle gives you the minor, drawing the right angle backwards gives you the parallel minor, etc.

Maybe it's because I write probably 90% of the stuff I do in minor, and use a lot of phyrgian and locrian (so lots of diminished), but I've never seen the augmented as "creepy" or "old fashioned" To me, it almost feels more like "I should be happy, but I'm not." Like getting a different answer to a question you thought you knew the answer to. Then again, I'm pretty much obsessed with the idea of "emotions of musical keys" which a lot of people say doesn't exist at all. (It's all just wavelengths!). Eh, for a guy whose main influences are metal 'n' Mahler, emotion is a big thing for me. If you want to simplify it that major is "happy" and minor is "sad," augmented is screaming at you that it will never let you see it cry, while tears stream down it's face. So I definitely get the "uncomfortable" part.

Jake, I marvel at the grasp you have on many musical concepts. Not only that, you have a gift of presenting complex ideas in a simple and understandable way. There are those that can play music but cannot teach. There are those that can teach music that can't play. You are the rare bird that can both play and teach. It is simply a joy to listen and learn from you.
