I couldn't of asked for a better chord lesson for today! I love this channel!

[@AntoineMichaudGuitar]

So glad!

[@RandyBakkelund]

@@AntoineMichaudGuitar Hey, can any of these augmented chord ideas be considered as modulations? Just curious, because I'm doing a big study on modulations, and augmented chords are one thing on my list that isn't fully checked off yet!?!?!

[@PittsMultiPass]

This is one of the most helpful and useful tutorials I have seen in a LONG time!!! I know music theory pretty well, but examples like in this video make translating that theory to the guitar fretboard workable. Thank you -> checking out your other videos and your website.

[@AntoineMichaudGuitar]

Glad it was helpful! I will be releasing a follow-up video on augmented chords that will come out tomorrow on the channel. Talking about some of those concepts and adding a nice section about the ''chromatic augmented double climb'' that we can hear in so many classics. Stay tuned!
