Augmented seventh chord

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is an old revision of this page, as edited by Hyacinth (talk | contribs) at 01:54, 23 July 2008 (The '''augmented seventh chord''' is a seventh chord consisting of an augmented triad with a minor seventh.). The present address (URL) is a permanent link to this revision, which may differ significantly from the current revision.

The augmented seventh chord is a seventh chord consisting of an augmented triad with a minor seventh. Thus it consists of a root, major third, augmented fifth, and the minor seventh[1]. It may be notated with the chord symbols C+7 or Caug7[1].

Augmented seventh chord may refer to the Hendrix chord[2], which contains an augmented ninth but not an augmented fifth.
