| Or C aug as in the 2nd chord, a passing chord, in "I Always Get Lucky With You." |

The confusion is exactly as you all have said.
Using it on the 2 or the 5 for adding tension
Thanks |

| Just to keep numerical terminology straight, Jim is accurately talking about the 5 (V) chord. I am not talking about a 2 (II) chord--just the second chord in the song which would actually be I aug. |

| Ok, so in C, a Caug or Gaug are the correct aug chords to use to add tension. |

Hi Gary,
I most commonly use C augmented to go from C to F, or the 1 to the 4.
A nice transition from C to F:AB at third fret, engage F lever and slide up four frets, release F and slide up one more fret to F at fret eight w/ A+B. |

Hi, Gary, as a transition chord, the augmented is often used like a seventh, when moving to a chord a 4th interval away. So C - G and G back to C in the key of C are both places where you can use the augmented instead of, or along with, a seventh, i.e.: C-C7-G = C-C+-G or G-G7-G = G-G+-C. Additionally, the intervallic distance from a 2 major to a 5 chord is also a 4th, so it would be musically appropriate to use a 2 augmented leading to the 5 as well.

| Unless the whole band is using the aug. use it as a scale. |

| Nothing says "you da man" like throwing in an aug chord with a lot of convection and confidence anywhere there is a pause in the music! |
