I knew what you were talking about dewd, but you can clearly see how that is misunderstood. Your right in the fact that augmented by simple definition mean, "to raise...", but by musically definition, it directly points to a chord. Like I said. I pretty much corrected your misinterpetation of the use of that word. I've seen alot of misinformation out there on this alone, and augmented 6 is not a the same as saying a raised 6. It is definitely not the same as a dominant 7 chord. You can clearly see that.

Secondly, I never said that ALL teachers and books were wrong on this subject. Read what I said again, I said if your teacher or a book told you this, it's wrong. You always talk about getting your information out of a book, the lydian chromatic concept I believe. I believe that is a creditable book, but there are alot of misinformation out there. I'm thinking I'm doing a far better justice by correcting this mistake. If you wish to ignore this fact, go for it. I'd bet my life on it that any respectable musician who know about this would tell you the same.
