Some Augmented Ideas for E9th pedal steel

<pre>
Here's some usable aug. passing chords I use from 1 to 4.
All in Key of G on E9 pedal steel.
</pre>
<pre>
1/2 pedal A
G Gaug C G Gaug C
4.__________}_______________
5._3~~2a~~3a}___3~~3a1/2~~3a
6._3~~2b~~3b}or_3~~~~~~~~~3b
7.__________}_______________
8._3~~2L~~3_}_______________
9.__________}___3~~~~~~~~~3L
</pre>
<pre>
Here you go to 6th fret and the 6th string becomes the 5th tone
then you let off the "A" pedal for the 5th string to go to the
flat7th then pedal your 5th tone up a half for the Aug.
</pre>
<pre>
G Gaug C
4.
5._3~~6a~~6~~~~8
6._3~~6~~~~6b~~8
7.
8._3~~6R~~~~~~~8
</pre>
<pre>
This is 6th string B pedal down and lower a whole tone
Or you can leave the 6th string B pedal down and raise the
7th string a half tone; either one becomes the flat7
</pre>
<pre>
G Gaug C
4._10~~~10R~~~~11R
5._10a~~~~~~~~~11a
6._10b~~10bLL~~11
</pre>
<pre>
"R" is half tone raise and "RR" is whole tone raise
</pre>
<pre>
G7 Gaug C G7 Gaug C
1.____________}________8R~~~~8RR
2.____________}_________________
3.____________}____8b~~~~~~~~8
4.____________}____8L~~~~~~~~8
5._8~~~~~~~8 }or__8~~~~~~~~~8
6._8b~~~~~~8 }
7._8~~~8R~~8RR}
8._8L~~~~~~8 }
</pre>

Your Welcome guys...and of course I was kidding about the "a bunch more; paypal thing"..ha....as those are pretty much the ones I use to pass that chord by.

Ricky,in your first exemple,isn't it 2R instead of 2L?

Either way, John. Your way gives the 1 3 aug5 notes, Ricky's gives the b7 3 aug5 notes, dropping the root. Nice open voicing that implies the G note without playing it.

John S. yes Jon L is correct in that; the b7 note is there; as oppossed to the root; as I consider the b7 note MUCH more important to a augmented chord than the root(everyone else plays the root..ha)> as you can tell by most of my examples.

Ricky, you da man. How about some examples of diminished chords used in the same way,ie: passing chords.
