A#aug7 Ukulele Chord

A#aug7 blends A#, D, F#, and G# into a compact dominant chord whose augmented fifth adds a jazzy, off-kilter bite. This tidy little barre shape suits funk and jazz turnarounds, leaning eagerly toward resolution with a spicy, unstable charge.

How to Play This Chord

Position your fingers on the fretboard as shown in the diagram. The vertical lines represent the four strings, from the top G string (left) to the A string (right), and the horizontal lines are the frets. Numbers inside the dots indicate which finger to use: 1 (index), 2 (middle), 3 (ring), 4 (pinky). An X means don't play that string; an O means play it open. A bar spanning multiple strings means one finger presses across all of them at once — this is known as a barre chord.

Tips & Tricks

Lay your index finger as a flat barre across all four strings at fret 1, then press the C and E strings at fret 2 with your middle finger. The barre is the work here — keep it firm and straight so the G and A strings sound, and curl the middle finger to land only on the two inner strings.
