Automatic transformations take place on the guitar by either lowering, or raising any single!
!
tone in a "Parentalf" form, (Augmented, or Diminished). In the augmented, (through the!
!
process of lowering) its new position becomes the Perfect 5th of a Major triad, (one of three).!
!
In fact, the tones within the augmented triad as the source embody the key centers of those !
!
Major triads. !

An application of the same procedure, (by raising any single note) causes its new position
to become the Root of a Relative Minor triad, (in junction with any of the Major forms,
one of three, for instance what was F Major, is now D Minor). In retrospect, any tone within
the augmented triad when moved singularly ! step higher becomes the root of a minor
triad.
