How to Play This Chord
Position your fingers on the fretboard as shown in the diagram. The vertical lines represent the strings, from low E (left) to high E (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
The open Eaug shape is just E major with the B string note raised one fret (to C on the 1st fret). It's an easy modification that introduces the augmented sound. Listen for the tension of that raised 5th — it should feel like the chord wants to move somewhere.
