Sweet lesson!
Hey Brian, you have done at least one lesson with Aug chords before but unfortunately I can’t remember what lesson(s). I mean come on, you’re Brian. You teach everything! Great lesson, but memorizing all the chords will definitely require using a cheat sheet for a while.
Do not be hard on yourself. Identify your weaknesses and turn them into your strengths. First, what is an augmented chord? The formula is 1 3 #5. It’s just a sharpened 5th. Just learn where the 5th is and you can then easily augment any major chord that you already know. No cheat sheet necessary. I add every single lesson I have ever watched to my favorites and try to put them into a category that makes sense to find again later on down the line. Today I made the category called “Augmented Chords” and added this lesson to that group.
Beautiful mandolin playing Brian. This is another good idea to expand one’s musicianship by letting the other instrument play the lead while you lay low and play rhythm. Very good lesson.
Thanks Michael
Nice lesson Brian. Really like the sound of playing chord tones. Starting to visualize the chords more as I play. This piece sounds like a jazz tune from the 40’s with the secondary dominate chords.
