Augmented Chords: added a link for 7:9:11 and 8:10:13
Line 647: Line 647:
The uphalfaug chord in close voicing uses every 3rd note of the [[Bohlen-Pierce|Bohlen-Pierce 13ED3 scale]]. Since the 3rd is upped, the chord's 5th is spelled as ^^5 not vv#5.

All six chords are odd-limit 9. Another possible aug chord is odd-limit 11. Unlike the others, it has no innate comma. 7:9:11 = up-downsharp5 = C^(v#5) = C ^E vG#. Unfortunately it's very difficult to finger. Using an open string, it's x56x0x.

Unfortunately it's very difficult to finger. Using an open string, it's x56x0x. But see [[Kite Guitar Exercises and Techniques by Kite Giedraitis#Primes 11 and 13]] for an alternative way to play this chord, as well as 8:10:13 = down-upsharp5 = Cv(^#5) = C vE ^G#.


The cryptic plus-sign symbol for augmented can be replaced with the far more intuitive and obvious lower-case a.
