| | chord names |
 | | The chords are defined in terms of the intervals between the notes which they contain – see intervals. | | | Such notation is also common on big band parts (for all instruments) where the instrumentalist is expected to improvise a solo fitting with the harmonies of the piece. | | | These chords contain an equal interval of four semitones between their component notes and so there are only four of them which are enharmonically distinct. |

| | Chromatic Chords |
| | 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. | | | Although the origin of the augmented sixth chords is in the minor mode, they are used freely in major in the 19th century. | | | Both chords are derived from the minor mode, but often appear in the major mode (rather like the so-called "borrowed" chords). |

| | chord: Information From Answers.com |
| | One of the reasons that listeners usually only remember the melody and not the chord progressions of a song (apart from the fact that the words of the song are sung to its melody) is that the chords comprise two or more simultaneous notes rather than one as in a melody. | | | A minor chord, such as the triad on D, has a smaller interval from root to third called a minor third, and the chord is D minor. | | | The most commonly used chords in Western music, triads are the basis of diatonic harmony, and are tertian trichords. |

| | The Dominant Seventh and Augmented Sixth Discords |
| | This is because it contains the interval of the augmented sixth - an interval that is not found in the diatonic scale. | | | In the history of Western music the dominant seventh was the first discordant chord to be used as freely as the consonant major and minor triads. | | | That is, we will hear the music to have modulated - the point at which this happens is probably somewhat fuzzy and also dependent on the listener. |

| | The Augmented 15th Chord - An Unseen Gem in the History of Music Harmony - Enrique Ubieta |
| | Among these chords are the so-called Mother and Pyramid chords (both invented by Fritz Klein in 1921) and the Grandmother chord (invented by Nicolas Slonimsky in 1938). | | | As for its harmonic lineage, the augmented-fifteenth chord could have been perhaps the last fruit borne of the genealogical tree of musical impressionism—a bright, crystalline, compact chord, both in the lower and upper registers. | | | plus the major-seventh chord (upper tetrad), a chord whose repeated use, goes back to the early days of musical impressionism, and which becomes mundane later on in western pop music. |

| | Obviously for normal chord charts it doesnt matter at all but if you write band charts, or piano arrangements out, by the way you are notating things it is an augmented sixth chord in the case of Db7 as a sub for G7. | | | Because of voice leading considerations, the tritone sub is called an augmented sixth chord in classical music. | | | Anyway, in classical music it is always written this way and should be in jazz big band charts but I don't know if it is always done properly. |

| | Augmented Sixth Chords |
| | When the dominant 7th/German 6/5 resolves in measure 2, we realize that the chord was a German 6/5, because the "7th" resolves up instead of down indicating that the interval between the outer voices was an augmented sixth not a minor seventh. | | | The family of augmented sixth chords, like the diminished 7th and Neapolitan chords, originate in the minor mode. | | | The interval produced by the D# above the bass is a doubly augmented fourth, hence the name of the chord. |

| | Chords FAQ |
| | Literally you canÕt stack them in thirds because there are not enough notes in the scales to do it, however if you think of pentatonic scales as incomplete modes you can simply use the same harmonization and chords for the modes as the pentatonic scales. | | | Using the Major pentatonic scales are a perfectly acceptable way to improvise over any chord progression that is in a major key and of course you can extend it all up and down the fretboard. | | | I've started recording the C Major chord progressions and improvising over them. |

| | TonalityGUIDE: Augmented sixth chords |
| | It consists of the augmented sixth itself along with a major third above the root, and is the most common variant, particularly in earlier music (listen out for the Italian sixth near the beginning of Beethoven's famous Fifth Symphony). | | | The Italian augmented sixth is the most basic form - most similar to the phrygian cadence but with a raised sixth. | | | More important than possible harmonic origins is the voice-leading of the augmented sixth rising expanding to an octave. |

| | The augmented sixth arises out of both mixture and chromaticism: most characteristically, the augmented sixth occurs between the lowered sixth degree of the scale and raised scale degree four. | | | The resulting interval, an augmented sixth, resolves in contrary motion by half step--that is--it expands to an octave built on scale degree five. | | | The German augmented sixth chord is the only augmented sixth chord that is enharmonic with a dominant seventh chord. |
