An AUGMENTED chord in a pentatonic scale? Please ... enlighten me! I don't know what you are talking about. Where is this augmented chord?

DOH!!!!!!


I was pretty tired when I said that.


A minor #5 chord, excuse me. Cool chord, if you ask me. In the right place, of course. To my ear, it serves many of the same functions as an augmented chord, and I have a tendency to use them somewhat interchangeably at times. But then, I hear harmony a little differently than most. At the very least, I use very unusual voicing at times.

Lessons will definately help, and even more if your other guitarist takes them too. That way you will both know the same scales and progressions. Practice together with your other guitarist, I mean a lot, untill you think alike and know what the other is going to do before they do it. Play songs or even riffs over and over (together) untill you are totally sick of them, it's at about that point they will start to sound good to others. Take it in 3 steps; 1 learn it, 2 practice it, 3 apply it.

I don't suppose a) she was fairly good looking, and b) lives in the Northwest, eh? Unless she was that blonde from ASU working as a demo model for Yamaha Electric violins (which I later bought, thanks to her)...

Sadly for you, no.

She was a wild Celtic princess who came from Scotland.

Even better! I could look forward to arguments bare-breasted and with a baby on each arm!

I'm an englishman doing trad irish fiddle work in the states. Celtic (musician) women rock my world. Redheads doubly so.

The scotch accent is one i have a hard time with though.
