Warren, you made me realize something that never occurred to me before. The math of diminished chords is an inversion of augmented chord math. Meaning, there are only three diminished 7th chords (made up of 4 tones each... 3 chords x 4 tones = 12). And OPPOSITELY, there are only four augmented triads (comprised of three tones each... 4 chords x 3 tones = 12). Our 12 tone scale is endlessly fascinating and never ceases to amaze me!
Thank you. What a patient and methodical teacher you are. Alot of these RUclips teachers just want to show off, but I get the feeling you are genuinely here to help. :)
To be honest, you have the teaching Grace!! (The explanations, Breakdowns, Choice of English words to explain musical terms, The examples and practicals are unique) I believe you've helped thousands of people all over the world just like me; permit me as I pledge to share it freely to any yarning learner around me.... I hope that all us here learning from Warren should I
At times like this when one is well fed from the generosity and extraordinary gift of another without anything to give in return, all I can give in return right now is a prayer and sincere gratitude... God bless you mightily. May you grow in grace and knowledge. You will never lack any good thing. You do not know how much you have blessed me through your gift, patience and ability to teach in humility.... Remain blessed now and forever.
You are such an incredible TEACHER! I wish I spend one month with you to be imparted. One thing I admire about you is your choice to dwell on gospel music. It's the reason why some of us follow you. Keep the fire of Jesus burning in you.
Warren, you are truly a blessing to me brother, helping me improve a lot with my musical career , pray that God will continue to pour out his blessings upon you and family
The clearest explained, most direct and practical use explanations for using augmented chords (and diminished video was also excellent) on You Tube by a mile. Well done!
Yes, Warren. Very nice hitting on that V7#9 Aug passing chord. Really that is a vital option often and the quartal harmony magical in resonance. The stacked 4ths make it clean to voice.
Discovered your channel today and have been checking out your videos. Really impressed, not only are you a great piano player but also a superb teacher with great knowledge and teaching technics. Thank you for doing this and helping people it speaks volumes about your character. I know I'm going to learn a lot from your videos.
I'm writing a suspenseful theme for a video game, and I've found that augmented chords have their place there just as diminisheds do...Excellent video. God bless
your videos has helped me progress a lot i was struggling with finding my flats and shape coords and as soon as i found you i started to progress more and more thank you so much for taking your time out of your day to do these lessons for us God Bless You Warren :)
Thank you Warren for sharing your knowledge! I was figuring out some chords by ear and ran into an aug 7 chord .. didn't know much about it but your lessen gave me more background on it!
Again such a great instructional video to cultivate and practise on. Will there be a course/lesson on diminished scales, altered chords, scales and other stuff like what scales to use for improvisation and related licks, riffs and on improvisation and harmonization any time soon? May God bless you for this brother! Thanks a lot from The Netherlands
Augmented Diads and Diminished Diads can sound beautiful too. Using only 2 notes. Begin with 2 major notes like G and B . Then augment just one. Or diminish just one.
Dear Warren, can do a video to demonstrate which scale to use over which chords? I'm trying so hard to partctice the things I learn from you. Do you mind make a song for us to partctice the chord please?
Kaijin Is The Greatest !!! I already have a course that teaches that, check it out here: pianolessonwithwarren.com/downloads/exotic-sounds-use-scales-improvise-chords/
Warren, u brilliant teacher I must say.... You have been amazing throughout your tutorial lesson.... You made it easy to understand the concept of d keys.... Thanks bro....
Awesome stuff where you been the last 10 yrs 😂 man I’m sooooooooo glad I found you on you tube. You need to advertise on all social media especially Facebook
You're the best, Warren! Thanks for all you do! Your videos are so helpful! On the AUG7, it works great with a 2-5 passing. If in the key of C, and if I want to get to IV (F), I can do a 2-5 passing to go to 4. The chords: Gmin9, Caug7, Fmaj9. Where is the 2? I thought the 2 is Dmin in the key of C?? So I'm a bit confused on how the 2-5 passing was used?
thank you for the straightforward tip of stretching the major into an augmented. c Aug 7th. three half step keys x's 2, then a one half step leading to the last key. 7th! hope I stated that correctly from your demonstration. those rules you shared pretty much form any aug 7th.
thank you alot man, you really opened my insight to these augmented chords, would you please talk about quator harmonies they sound sweet and I need to understand the secret behind them, God bless you, much love from Tanzania.
I think this should best be called a 7#5 chord chord... the jazzers have it right in this case. Using classical terminology, "augmented 7th" sounds similar to "augmented 6th" and gived the expectation that the 7th is the augmented note, which of course makes no sense as it would just be an octave. This could be confusing
Warren your lessons are great! Very clear and helpful. The only thing I find a bit confusing is the fact that in all your video’s a G sharp is projected as an A flat when iT is actually a G Sharp. All the Sharps are written as flats. Is that because of the program you are using? I know the notes sound the same but in theory they are different. Now it looks that the sixth note is lowered instead of a fifth being heigthened
@@dipanshusingh93 it depends; if it’s a aug triad, most likely the resolution is minor. If it’s aug7, then it’s most likely resolved up a 4th which could be either minor or major.
Hey Warren I’m wondering if this (aug 7/9/13) is applicable in dance music, among which EDM, trance and techo? I usually use triads and other notes from the key I’m producing in. If yes, any examples? I’m curious and excited to apply this new knowledge to my new productions. U did a great job in this tutorial I watched over and over again.🙌🏾👍🏽
Hey Warren, sorry if I sound incredibly basic but I’m trying to find a way to understand George Duke’s - Vulcan Mind Probe. I am thinking it is an incredibly creative way of using 7ths, but from watching this video I think I’m very wrong! Could you help me understand this creativity? I’d really love to know! Thank you!!
Okay. newbie question here. you talk about using the chord on a "2, 5 passing" but you seem to start on the 5 (G) then 1 (Caug#9) and resolve on the 4 (F) where is the 2?? I don't see you play a D anywhere. Im sure im missing something but can someone please help me understand lol. id love to integrate this theory into my playing.
The 2-5 passing concept derived from Jazz theory and harmony. This not really a beginners concept hence the confusion. The 2-5 passing concept often involves using chords from other keys. Here’s a tutorial on 2-5 passing ruclips.net/video/ESM8AKDey5Q/видео.html
Thank you again for your videos. One question : Is the altered chord the one we can hear as an ending chord on some james brown songs for exemple ( I'm thinking about I feel good)? You know, this kind of non conclusive chord ?
Nicolas Lelong the altered has an altered 5th and 9th, it’s not a conclusion chord, too much dissonance end a song. The altered is usually used on the 5 chord, or in a passing chord passage

I used to see this Aug7 chord more like a dominant with the b13, but I think this is a useful shortcut to avoid the 5th
Warren your lessons are great! Very clear and helpful.

I know the notes sound the same but in theory they are different. Now it looks that the sixth note is lowered instead of a fifth being heigthened
André Punt the sharp and flat are preset, the software can only display either all sharp or all flat but not both.

Thnx for the quick answer. And thnx for your lessons. I purchased your lesson on the blues. Great.!

Luan Bermudez you’re welcome 😉
Thanks for the tutorial. Question: Can I use the augmented chord to transition off the key the 6 chord is; transpose the music?
I don’t know. There are many other factors to consider so there’s no one answer to this without a practical application
Ok. Thanks for responding!!
