Monday's Muse as Music:

Starting the 200 series of guitar tutorials. The little nuances of minor, augmented chords. An augmentation is an adaptation by depressing a string involved in the original chord, at a fret that fits the key. D is one of the most frequently augmented chords, as it resides in the bottom three strings, while the top three stay open, and work with all augmented D's. The standard D chord has the second fret depressed on the 4th and 6th strings, while the 5th string is depressed on the third fret. When you take the 5th fret down to the first fret, this is a D7, so the number 7 as a shift apply's to the 5th fret, and a D7, augment 9 would revert to a standard D.

These are the major, minor key shifts, but there are nearly a dozen other D key's or chords. Dm7 is the distinctive turn in While My Guitar Gently weeps, and another Dm7 moves the 9 to 7 and is a softer shift than the more common Dm7. All the remaining D shifts involve only the 4th, 5th and 6th frets, with shifts only extending to the 4th fret, so less finger reach, easier focus, and a frequent starting place for 200 guitar skills.

I share two songs on the pod cast already shared, and both from the Doors. They both have these minor shifts and Jim Morrison's poetry as muse.

The lights are getting brighter The radio is moaning Calling to the dogs There are still a few animals Left out in the yard But it's getting harder To describe Sailors To the underfed Tropic corridor Tropic treasure What got us this far To this mild equator? We need someone or something new Something else to get us through, yeah, come on Calling on the dogs Calling on the dogs Oh, it's getting harder, (Calling on the dogs) Calling in the dogs Calling all the dogs Calling on the gods You got to meet me, (Too late, baby) Slay a few animals At the crossroads, (Too late) All in the yard But it's getting harder, (By the crossroads) You got to meet me Oh, we're going, we're going great At the edge of town Tropic corridor Tropic treasure Having a good time Got to come along What got us this far To this mild equator? Outskirts of the city You and I We need someone new Something new Something else to get us through Better bring your gun Better bring your gun Tropic corridor Tropic treasure We're going to ride and have some fun When all else fails We can whip the horse's eyes And make them sleep And cry

Obviously, I only highlight these song's as these are long versions arranged for concerts.
