	NationMaster - Encyclopedia: Augmented chord
		The augmented chord is considered dissonant, or unstable, and lacks tonal center or drive.
		This chord precedes a diatonic triad, and is its dominant, or its VIIo (the leading-tone triad, or VIIo7, the leading-tone seventh chord).
		The chord represents an chromatic modification of the the IV6 in the so-called "Phrygian" cadence.

	NationMaster - Encyclopedia: Augmented fifth
		The prefix 'augmented' identifies it as being the largest of the three intervals; the others being the perfect fifth and diminished fifth, which are one and two semitones smaller, respectively.
		The prefix 'augmented' identifies it as being the largest of the three intervals; the others being the perfect fifth and diminished fifth, which are one and two chromatic semitones smaller, respectively.
		The note determining the functional identity of the chord is the seventh of the dominant 7th and the "root" of the German 6/5 (the note that usually appears in the soprano and forms the interval of the augmented sixth with the bass).

	Chromatic Chords
		Both chords are derived from the minor mode, but often appear in the major mode (rather like the so-called "borrowed" chords).
		The characteristic interval of the augmented 6th is formed between the bottom note of the IV6 (^6 in minor) and this new note that is a semitone below ^5.
		This chord most often progresses to the dominant, or the cadential 6/4, and then V. It is theoretically possible to place an augmented sixth chord on other scale degrees, but this procedure is rare and limited to late 19th century music.

	The Augmented 15th Chord - An Unseen Gem in the History of Music Harmony - Enrique Ubieta
		As you can see, once the seventh and eleventh degrees of a thirteenth chord are altered—relative to their approximate pitch within the natural series—the eight component sounds of the augmented-fifteenth chord could be divided in two superimposed tetrads: the lower one, a dominant seventh; the upper, a major seventh.
		Had this chord, however, stood out with this crowning overtone at the start of the 20th century, we would probably be pointing it out today as the first tertian chord of superimposed thirds to build onto its structure a representation of the microtonal gamut, without losing its impressionist harmonic features.
		After the thirteenth chord was enthroned, several atonal chords went beyond it to add on to themselves the five remaining sounds of the chromatic scale.

	Chord Progression Glossary
		Chord names identified by the note which is the root of the chord where this note is described by its alphabetic name.
		The interval of an augmented 6th is identical (in equal temperament) to the interval of a minor 7th but whereas the minor 7th normally resolves inwards, the augmented 6th resolves outward (to an octave E - E, in the examples above.) It thus behaves as a chromatic non-functional chord.
		The chord on the first degree of the scale), II the supertonic chord (the chord on the second degree of the scale) and V the dominant (the chord on the fifth degree of the scale).

		You could also include the 9th in an 11th chord, or the 9th and 11th in a 13th chord, but on a guitar this is usually not done.
		The 'add' chords simply add to the triad, so Cadd2 would be : Cadd2 = C triad + 2nd = 1st, 2nd, maj 3rd, 5th Csus2 = Csus2 triad = 1st, 2nd, 5th Similarly there is an important difference between 'add9' and '9' chords.
		The difference between this one and a 'normal' diminished is that the 7th of the chord is a flat 7th not a double flat 7th (hence half-diminished).

	Other Chromatic Chords
		All of the chords in this section were not randomly "invented" by theorists, but rather, came about by experimentation by composers who used these harmonies frequently and consistently enough for their inclusion in our discussion of tonal theory.
		These chords usually occur in root position and after a tonic triad (in major keys) and normally resolve back to tonic, to the dominant, or continue in root movement by successive thirds.
		When these chords are encountered, it is important to remember that music is an art, and it is often the moments when composers write passages "outside the norm" that music becomes it’s most expressive.

		Augmented Sixth Chord: A chord which contains an augmented sixth above the bass, in addition to various other tones, which determine weather the chord is a German Sixth Chord, French Sixth Chord, Italian Sixth Chord, Neopolitan Sixth, or Doubly Augmented Sixth Chord.
		Borrowed Chord: Use of a chord in a key in which it is not diatonic, or the substitution of a chord from a different key into a work.
		Chord: A set of notes, usually three or four, played simultaniously--usually containing a root, and other tones which have a tonal relationship to that root.

	Augmented Sixth Chords
		The chord that resulted from this substitution contained the interval of the augmented sixth between scale degree #4, usually occurring in the soprano, and scale degree 6, the lowered sixth scale degree from the natural minor usually occurring in the bass.
		The resolution determines the identity of the chord, and the resolution determines whether the chord is spelled as a dominant 7th or a German 6/5.
		The note determining the functional identity of the chord is the seventh of the dominant 7th and the "root" of the German 6/5 (the note that usually appears in the soprano and forms the interval of the augmented sixth with the bass).

		An extended tertian chord, however, is often built on scale degree 5 to function as a dominant; 9th and 11th chords may be built on scale degree 2 and serve as a subdominant chord.
		Pre-Dominant Chords: are chords that precede the dominant (or sometimes the tonic six-four and then the dominant) in a cadence.
		Borrowed chords are also referred to as "mode mixture." 19th-century composers often used borrowed chords to expand harmonic color and to modulate to distantly related keys, especially the chromatically 3rd related keys.

		The character of a chord and its name depends upon the intervals of the tones from a concrete tone which is called root and is (usually) self present in the chord.
		Characteristic interval of this chord is the diminished 5th between the major third (b) and the minor seventh (f).
		Characteristic interval of this chord is the augmented 5th between the minor third (!b) and the major seventh (#f).

	Augmented Chords
		Recall that chords come in two basic parts, a letter name (C, C#, etc.) also known as a root note (tonic, 1), and a descriptive part that abbreviates the name of the chord (is a short-hand for all the intervals of each distinct note from the root note).
		The augmented chord is not found in the major scale or minor scale.
		Augmented chords are often heard as passing chords, that is they are created as temporary chords while moving from one chord to another, in a series of chords.

	TonalityGUIDE: Augmented sixth chords (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The augmented sixth, like most chromatic chords, usually leads to V. While the diminished seventh and secondary dominant are diatonic chords taken out of context, the augmented sixths does not have a direct diatonic origin.
		The effect in all three cases is of a strong tension (the dissonant augmented sixth) resolving onto the dominant (chord V).
		The German augmented sixth is enharmonically the same as a dominant seventh chord (it sounds the same but is 'spelt' differently).

	Chord Naming
		Note that the chords change in a regular pattern, such as once per measure or every two beats (this is called harmonic rhythm), but the voicings and inversions can vary arbitrarily throughout the period of the chord as the performers desire.
		The true augmented chord is a very colourful chord which is not often used.
		In many forms of music, the only chord types ever used are triads (i.e., the first three degrees of a chord), so it is possible to specify nothing more than major or minor.

		The chords are similar because their roots are a diatonic third away from chord I (three out of the four notes of these chords are the same as those in chord I).
		Chord VI is a diatonic 3rd away from chord I and chord IV hence it can be seen either as tonic or subdominant, depending on context.
		It is extremely common to alter the VI chord in this way: one advantage of changing m7 chords to secondary dominants is that there are more interesting sounding extensions and alterations available on dominant 7th chords.

	How To Form 7th Chords - Evangelistic Gospel Piano
		All 7th chords are formed as a combination of of four notes (i.e., a basic triad, accompanied by a fourth note, the interval of a 7th above the root).
		As with simple chords, it is important that we be able to think in the key of the root of the chord.
		The Augmented 7th chord is often seen as a hybrid between an Augmented chord, and a Dominant 7th chord, because of its Augmented/Minor form.

		The name major for a chord, abbreviated capital M or "maj" means that the chord is made up of the first, third and fifth notes of the scale.
		For example, a C major chord again would be notes: C, E, and G. "C sus" would be C, F, and G. In this second case, note that we eliminated "E' which was the third note of the scale, but added "F" which is the 4th note of the scale.
		A chord "C sus 2" would be C, D and G instead of the normal C major chord C, E, and G. In the "sus 2" case, "E" the third note of the scale disappears and is replaced by "D" the second note of the scale.

		Just as there are 3 types of 7th chord (7th, min 7th, maj 7th) you end up with 3 types for 9th 11th and 13th chords by simply adding to the basic 7th chord.
		To get 11th chords you can add the 11th to the 3 types of 9th chord, but most ot the time the 9th is not needed, so you simply add an 11th to the 7th chords to build the 3 types of 11th chord, and similarly with 13ths.
		The difference between this one and a 'normal' diminished is that the 7th of the chord is a flat 7th not a double flat 7th.
