D#aug Ukulele Chord
Built from D#, G and B, D#aug is an augmented triad with a raised fifth that leaves it hanging and unresolved. That hazy, dream-like tension suits film scores, jazz and moody ballads, and thanks to augmented symmetry the very same shape also voices Gaug and Baug.

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
Leave the high G string open, then stack your fingers down the middle: ring on the C string at fret 3, middle on the E string at fret 3, and index on the A string at fret 2. Keeping two fingers side by side at the same fret can crowd them — spread your knuckles apart so neither finger mutes the open G ringing above.
