The final triad we have to discuss is the very copy-and-pasteable Augmented. While we have discussed this sound before, I felt a review was in order as we wrap up playing small triads on the guitar. We cover the fretboard with these very easy shapes using our practice strategies, and review the most common places to use Augmented as a sound. We also revisit a closely related sound called Whole Tone scale and go over it's uses alongside Augmented, and finish with our standard Power Ups.

As you probably imagined, this is a long video. Youtube Chapters are available for your navigating convenience. I'm pretty sure this is the last super long video I'll do for a while, hope you enjoy this stuff:

1 - Augmented Shapes, Practice Strategies
2 - Easiest Places to Use Augmented
3 - Examples over Major/Minor blues
4 - Using Augmented over Melodic Minor and Related Sounds
5 - Whole Tone Scale
6 - Power Ups
