About FretBuzz Augmented

FretBuzz Augmented is for practicing modes, pentatonic scales and arpeggios on jazz guitar. The arpeggios include upper and lower structure seventh/sixth chords.

Difference from my other application "FretBuzz" is that this application organizes scales in terms of common progression in jazz;
- II V I (major and minor keys)
- I VI II V (major and minor keys)
- Coltrane Changes.
This app can be considered as a Volume II of FretBuzz.

You choose a progression and choose to practice either modes, pentatonic scales or upper/lower structure arpeggios. The application then generates fretboard diagrams for you to practice.

For example if you choose ii V I and Modes/Bebop Scales, then;

- For I chord you will get diagrams for Ionian, Bebop Major, Lydian.
- For ii chord you will get diagrams for Dorian, Bebop Scale.
- For V chord you will get diagrams for Mixolydian, Bebop Scale, Lydian Dominant, Half Whole Diminished, Altered and Whole Tone scales.

If you choose pentatonic scales, for example on the V chord, you will get diagrams for;
- Major/Minor Pentatonic,
- Dominant Seventh/Minor sixth Pentatonic,
- Dominant Seventh flat 9 pentatonic,
from Mixolydian, Lydian, Half Whole Diminished and Altered scales.

When you combine it with the pentatonic choices for the I and ii chords, you will have many sounds to choose from.

The application uses CAGED System positions. So for all mode/pentatonic/arpeggio groups you will have five positions to practice.

The progressions used in the application are again;
- ii V I progressions
- I vi ii V progressions
- Coltrane Changes

The scales used are;
- Modes of Major Scale
- Modes of Harmonic Minor Scale
- Modes of Melodic Minor
- Half Whole Diminished Scale
- Whole Tone Scale
- Bebop Scales
- Major & Minor Pentatonic
- Dominant Seventh & Minor Sixth Pentatonic
- Minor/Major (Melodic Minor) Pentatonic
- Dominant Seventh Flat 9 Pentatonic

And all possible Seventh and Sixth chord arpeggios from the above modes.

If you are left handed like me, in the settings you can choose the "I am left handed" option.

Thanks for reading!

Can't thank you enough for the speed at which you enabled the option to resize these grids for large tablets. I no longer have to risk damaging my eyesite, trying to read the previously tiny patterns on minuscule phone screens. I mean, did you ever see a chord or scale book or dictionary with pages the size of a dam phone screen? NEVER! The next thing is to port these apps to full-size PCS and MAC'S and then you will be on to a winner. Softer piano sound also greatly appreciated thank you.
