About this chord

The augmented chord replaces the perfect fifth with an augmented fifth, creating a symmetric, mysterious tension. On guitar, only 3 distinct shapes cover all 12 keys thanks to its symmetry. It works beautifully in chromatic progressions and as a stepping stone toward the corresponding major or minor chord.
