I can't seem to find augmented chords on C6 neck. I know aug are a stack of 3 major 3rd intervals, and repeat every 4 frets, but can't seem to find a stack of them on adjacent strings. BTW my steels' pedals are standard and have RKR raising string 3 a 1/2 step and RKL lowering string 3 a whole step. I also tune top string to G, but really i'm looking for that nice fat aug on the wound strings
Thanks for the help, Larry

Pedal 6 lower 6th string E to Eb, knee lower 3rd string C to B gives you a Eb aug with 6th string Eb, 5th string G and 3rd string B. If you really want adjacent strings, pedal 4 raise A string to B gives you the same chord on strings 6,5 and 4 but you have to hit two non-adjacent pedals which means using both feet.
If your first string is a G, some copedants raise it to G# with pedal 5 which gives you a C aug on the top 3 strings with one pedal.
There may be more depending on your copedant and how convoluted you want to get. E.g. if you half pedal the pedal 4 raise and use pedal 5 to get D's and F#'s you'd have some other combinations which might be useful. You can go from Am on strings 5,4,3 to D aug using pedal 5 and half pedaling pedal 4 which is a nice ii-V aug move but good luck getting it in tune. |

I'd use P8 to raise the 5 of an F chord, and just let your bandmates cover the root.
OR: use P4 and P6 (so you're double footing, it happens) to play B on string 8, D# on string 6 and G (or, technically, F##) on 5.

... pedals 6 and 7 together on s.4-5-6. I use it considerably more than p.6 and C-B lever, due to the ability to release p.7 after the chord is voiced. It depends on what I want to do melodically.
Also, p.6 with a C-C# lever is an augmented.
Also p.5 with an A-A# lever.
Also straight chord with an A-G# (on s.4) lever on strings 2-3-4-6-7.
I can't think of any others at the moment with the standard pedal changes, but those 5 are the ones I use the most.

D'oh. I can't believe I forgot that one. You're right, it's useful and easy to hit. |
