Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: for instance in the case of F#aug. but with the spelling of F# A D instead of F# A# D.... would it be "proper" or understandable from one musician to another to say "Augmented Minor"??? I have a Masters degree in Theory. An augmented chord has increased the FIFTH by a half step - so c aug min would be C - Eb - G#. Strange - using pop terminology to describe this - but could happen. Be prepared to be misunderstood. Again, sound like a first inversion of an A flat chord. No, because F# A D is just a D major chord in first inversion. Also, "augmented minor" would not make sense because it is a contradiction on terms: to augment means to make larger or greater, while "minor" implies lesser or smaller (this is why only major or perfect intervals can be augmented.) I don;t know where some ppl get answers. Of course it is possible. Amin7#5 (A-G-C-F) which has the same fingering as F9 CHORD (F-A-C-G) There's no specific rulesandrules aremadeto be broken. That's why you have such incredible musicians today :) |
