Caug7 Ukulele Chord
Restless and edgy, Caug7 stacks C, E, G#, and A# into a dominant seventh with a raised fifth that refuses to settle. The sound suits jazz turnarounds and funk vamps, pulling hard toward an F chord with a spicy, unstable lean.

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
Place your index finger on the G string at fret 1 and your middle finger on the A string at fret 1, leaving the C and E strings open. The challenge is keeping those two open strings ringing clearly while the fretting fingers stay arched off them — relax the hand and press just behind the fret.
