AUGMENTED CHORDS!? ME!? Don't mind if I do!

[Jolly McJollyson]

I finally found a use for augmented chords! Apparently they're good for more than just slamming out during tense moments in soap operas! E.G. You slept with my father's ghost?! (AUGMENTED CHORD!) I was writing a little classical piece for piano and I'd just used the VI chord just before the final cadence, and I didn't want to go V-I of V7-I So I used III but instead of it being the normal major, it was augmented. Let me tell, you, gentlemen, it is a sexy sound.

I've just put one out thanks Jolly, maybe next time !!

Well if it is an augmented 9th go on then.

They are just the best chords to end a bit of 12 bar on !!!

like in the jazzy blues jam !!!

oh yeaarrrrrr

Ohh, good thinkin'! Hey, is the jazzy blues jam a regular 12 bar I IV V type thing? Or does it have a III instead of the four?

Easy there tiger, I'm good but not that good !!

It is just a regular i, IV, V prog !!

Check the info box on the player for chord charts and some blerb etc !

Hahaha, sure you are, man. Well, I III V sounds pretty cool if you ever want to experiment over it.

sorry Jolly I didn't mean to edit your post. I have Crossroads guitar festival on the other monitor so am a bit distracted !!

I may just have a play with that this-afternoon !!

The V chord augmented sounds pretty cool too. i.e. V7(#5), then resolve to the root for something traditional, or VIm for something alittle different.
