I think you can lower 6 1/2 tone & play it along with 5 (open) & 4 raised a whole tone & with open tunning you the have Eb, G & B or an augmented chord you may name Eb+, G+ or B+. I think on a std C6th set-up it would be pedals 6 & 7. If you happened to have the 3rd string raised 1/2 tone, you could also get A+ (C#+ & F+) by raising the 2nd (with P 6 also) a half tone & picking strings 2, 3 & 4. |

Hey Greg take the G chord on the 7th fret. Ok playing strings 4;5;6> move up one fret and lower the 6th string back to the 3rd interval. Now you have the 3rd tone and 5th string(5th tone) becomes your augmented tone and 4th string becomes your b7th tone> you can add the 3rd string and lower it back to the root note too. Also on the 5th fret for a Gaug. Lowering your 5th string makes it the 3rd tone; and the 6th string is your 9th tone and 4th string is the 5th tone; so raise the 4th string a half step to the augmented tone and you have a nice Gaug there too. Play the higher or lower notes along with the Aug. note for a different texture of the Chord; but just be aware of the value of the note and what it should be; and you can either raise or lower a note to fit. There is a couple and I have 15 more(well somewhere between 1 and 15 more   Ricky |

Also, to expand on what Ricky said: Say you're going from G to G+ to C in a blues or jazz type tune... play G (7th fret, strings 3 5 6); then, instead of G aug, substitute C#7b5 (8th fret, pedal 6 and lever lowering string 3 1/2 tone, picking strings 9, 6, and 3); then play C7 (7th fret, pedal 6 only, strings 9, 6, and 3). Your band will think you are way cool when you throw that one on them!

Hey thanks Herb! That's exactly the kind of hipster stuff I'm looking for on this tuning. You Texas guys sure know your C6! --GV [This message was edited by Greg Vincent on 24 April 2001 at 07:48 AM.] [This message was edited by Greg Vincent on 24 April 2001 at 07:50 AM.] |

Greg One more thing... if you absolutely, positively, must have the D# note in there, call the chord a C#9b5 and play strings 9, 5, and 3. This is also a nice tension-to-resolution chord to a CMaj7, again used as a substitute for a V7 (G7-type) chord (e.g. Danny Boy, Night Life, et. al.).
