The link Griphon posted does work.
It isn't working for me, my browser keeps freezing up. I dunno why, I would like to see it.

BTW your going to have to alter your maj.#6 theory when dealing w/the French 6, you'll have to call it a Major b5#6!??!!
Just when I thought this couldn't have gotten anymore confusing. We now have THREE different augmented 6 chords. Right, the Aug.6 I propose, the French Aug.6, and the German and Italian Aug.6?? Or do the Germans and the Italians have different Augmented 6 chords also. If so, that's FOUR augmented 6 chords. It would have been nice to say this from the beginning, don't you think. So now that we're on a roll here, why don't we just start calling all chords with a #6 an Augmented 6 chord. Cause you see we're trying to take the confusion out of theory, right?? :rolleyes: LMMFAO!!!! At least that's what Griphon said, and he's the one who introduced this to the conversation stating and I quote:

I think this conversation has done an absolutely astounding job of this
Also, the Majb5#6 is more well-known as a "7b5" chord. Enharmonically speaking, but the bottom line is these F, G, and I chords don't really exist much in modern music anyways. Griphon agreed.

Going to try this one more time. It is in a sense a maj triad with a #6 extension. (It evolved to this idea much later, and quite frankly is never used.)
I do not insist those who came up with the F, G, and I chords stupid. I said it is stupid to use this idea now, cause in all truth the chordal understanding of that time is different from the one used today. When those chords were used they were probably just as useful as the dominant 7th we have today. Today, the chordal structure almost forbids the use of them. They simple contradict to many things, and although they are legit they don't work anymore under those names.
