Daug Ukulele Chord
Daug stacks D, F# and A# into an augmented triad whose sharpened fifth blurs the sense of home. It sounds unsettled and cinematic, ideal for adding suspense or sliding between two chords, and the symmetrical fingering repeats four frets up to spell F#aug and A#aug too.

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
Barre your middle finger across the C and E strings at fret 2, set the ring finger on the high G string at fret 3, and tuck the index on the A string at fret 1. The little barre is the tricky part — roll the middle finger slightly onto its side so both covered strings sound and the open-feeling A note stays clear.
