Hi!
Can someone give some good examples of country songs where it is used?
I'm trying to explain this chord progression to the rest in my band but with no success. Some examples would be of great help.
We are rehearsing the song Today I Started Loving you Again, Merle. I would like to have it there at measures 9,10,11 in the chorus.
Thanks for help!
Wolfgang

Does the intro to Devil's Alley fit the bill?

Have a listen to the current posting in the Tablature section by Frank Freniere.He has posted the solo of Jeff Newman playing the Last Letter.It has a nice movement from A+ TO D.
The title of the posting is E9 Jeff Newman Solo. |

I love the augmented chord. First heard it in "I hear you knocking" by Dave Edmunds (not country, I know) but it caught my 15-year-old ear. I'm 63 now.
Try it in "Crazy", after "And I'm crazy for lovin' you" - the chorus - the very last beat of the last bar as you come back into the new verse, begs for a quick Gaug (if you are playing in C).

I have to admit I am guilty of using the 5Chord augmented perhaps too much….
Love the tone of it but a little goes a long way…I have to restrain myself.

Why 5 frets? Augmented repeats every 4 frets. What's the thinking behind 5?

That seems like a dangerous place to play a raised 5th, because it would conflict with the the natural unraised 5th in the melody. |

Since I/I+/IV is the same movement as V/V+/I, let's not forget Bill Monroe's "Rawhide" where the B part, in C, goes E E E E A A A A D D D D G G G+ G+

| It's dangerous in general telling everybody about your intention to put an augmented chords in a song. Most often they're implied by a string part, piano, steel and not played in full. |

Thanks again for all responds.
My first need is help to explain the chord progression with augmented chord to my band. You have given me great help so I will give it a new try.
It is a bit new for us. The basic move with 7th chord, 1 1-7 4, we know.
How to use 5+ and not to use it is good information. As a steel guitarist I suppose I can use the 5+ alone but I must be careful so it don't conflict with a 5 that some other may play.

| If you play Jingle Bell Rock,for the part''Now the Jingle hop has begun", in the key of C "has begun" is on the G7+ CHORD and "has begun" is D#, so here there is no clash as the melody and the augmented note are the same going from a V7+ to a 1. |

I have always regarded the augmented as a passing note on the way from a I to a IV, or from V to I.
To be used sparingly, as it isn't a scale note, it's a bit like using nutmeg in cooking. Just a trace here or there, occasionally.... More is too much.

| I use augmented quite alot when I am taking a solo not so much when I am laying back. In the pedals down position of a one chord I engage the f lever. In the open position. Of a one chord I half pedal my A pedal. The only example of a cou try song I can think of is the acoustic intro to I got friends in low places. I find it fits good into arrangements as a colourful passing chord. |

I'm surprised that no one has mentioned the tune "I Always Get Lucky With You" by now...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6dJz8xY0gvI
Great use of augmented (and diminished) chord in this iconic tune.

| Yeah that is a 2b half dim. I was trying to think of a "country" song with an Augmented chord off the top of my head to give a quick example. I'm sure there are lots but I can't think of any right off the top of my head. |

Right Or Wrong (the Bob Wills, not the Wanda Jackson) goes to E+ on Bar 1 (the "Right or" being pick-up notes) if you're in G.

Every version better have it. I was pointing out that the Wanda thing is a completely different song, a 12/8 ballad instead of a 4/4 swing. With different words and chords, and all that other stuff.
My band in 2008 recorded the Wills thing (predates Bob, see https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right_or_Wrong_(song)for info), and Jody was doing the research for the credits, and came into the bar all excited to tell us that he'd found that Wanda had written it. I had a chuckle.
