Eaug Ukulele Chord
Eaug gathers E, G# and C, sharpening the fifth so the chord shimmers without ever resting. Its suspended, slightly eerie character is perfect for leading the ear toward a new chord, and being symmetrical the shape simultaneously names Caug and G#aug.

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
Fret the high G string at fret 1 with your index and let the C and E strings stay open. Use your ring finger to reach fret 3 on the bottom A string. The wide gap between index and ring is the hurdle here — keep your thumb low behind the neck so your hand can open up and the two middle strings ring freely.
