    Chord Progressions For Practice: Augmented and Diminished Chords

    Uploaded by

    Peter Pushpanathan
    Augmented chords may be useful in some of the songs you will be playing. They are used often in place of the V chord (see Chapter 14 for more on V chords) or by splitting two measures with a V chord. For instance, in the key of G, when turning the verse around, you would play the D chord for one measure and the D aug for one measure before returning to G.

    Chord Progressions for Practice


    Use three different chord progressions (series of chords we will use to play a fictitious
    practice song) as practice tools for learning these chords. These examples will give you
    the opportunity to try all the positions in context. The chord progressions are identical in
    each key, only the key changes.

    Practice by playing each chord below for two measures. As you learn the chord positions,
    it is okay to start by strumming or using the three-finger pinch as you locate each chord.

    Key of G Key of D Key of A Key of C


    G D F C D A C G A E G D C G Bf F

    G E7 A D D B7 E A A Fs7 B E C A7 D G

    G Em Am D D Bm Em A A Fsm Bm E C Am Dm G

    Augmented and Diminished Chords


    Augmented Chords
    Augmented chords may be useful in some of the songs you will be playing. They are used
    often in place of the V chord (see Chapter 14 for more on V chords) or by splitting two
    measures with a V chord. For instance, in the key of G, when turning the verse around,
    you would play the D chord for one measure and the D aug for one measure before
    returning to G.
    The same shape is used for every augmented chord. Use the form graphic and the
    accompanying chart to find any augmented chord in these keys.

    Diminished Chords
    The diminished chords work in much the same way as the augmented. The same shape or
    chord position is used for every diminished chord. I have two dimished shapes, but, if
    you look carefully, the only difference between the two shapes is where you put your
    fingers. The actual notes are the same.
