The Art of Augmented - Intermediate Gypsy Jazz Guitar

Master single-note augmented arpeggios by connecting chord shapes in one position, then shift half a step for the topper, and play forwards with hammer-ons and push-throughs and backwards with down-strokes.

Master a compact box-shaped augmented arpeggio in two positions, moving up a whole step. Use d7 with the third finger and g6 with the second, plus hammer-ons and down/up picking.

Master augmented arpeggios by breaking them into two-string modules and using major third intervals. Apply efficient position changes, hammer-ons, and octave-shift patterns to play with flow and minimize hand strain.

Master two-note, one-note augmented arpeggios across the neck, using fifth to tenth fret shapes with upstroke and hammer and push through techniques, plus essential position changes.

Master a giant two-finger major-third augmented arpeggio that shifts across the neck with four-fret position changes, using up and down strokes, hammer-ons, and metronome practice.

Explore the creeping augmented arpeggio lick in gypsy jazz guitar, using backwards staircase shapes, hammer-ons and half-step shifts to move patterns up and down the neck.

Master an augmented pattern built from three-note groupings, moving up a major third every four frets to create texture across A, D, G, and high strings, with improvisable arpeggio licks.

Explore augmented arpeggios as substitutions for major chords, using one-note-off tension across root position and first and second inversions. Map augmented shapes to bass notes and upper strings for soloing.

Explore using augmented as a substitute for minor chords, starting from the minor third and applying augmented shapes across root position, first inversion, and second inversion to avoid clashes.

Use augmented chords as a substitute for the dominant, leading into major chords (root, first and second inversions) with arpeggios starting a half step below the target chord.

Apply augmented chords as a lead-in to minor; use root-position minor chords, descend half step for first inversion, and ascend a major third for second inversion with bass as lead.

Explore how augmented tones lead into chords and substitute for dominant chords, creating dissonant color across major and minor tunes like all of me and minor swing.

Explore how augmented harmony adds a distinct color to your gypsy jazz guitar palette, with four channels to use over almost any chord, delivering a playful sense of disorientation.
