F#aug Ukulele Chord

F#aug is an augmented triad of F#, A# and D whose raised fifth keeps it suspended in mid-air. It lends a tense, cinematic shimmer that smooths the path between two chords, and like every augmented shape it repeats every four frets to also spell Daug and A#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

Barre the C and E strings together with your middle finger at fret 2, place the ring finger on the high G string at fret 3, and set the index on the A string at fret 1. The two-string barre is the genuine test — press just behind the fret and roll the middle finger onto its bony side so both strings ring without choking.
