Gaug7 Ukulele Chord
Gaug7 brings together G, B, D#, and F for a dominant sound stretched taut by its augmented fifth. The result is a bright yet edgy chord that fits jazz, blues, and funk turnarounds, pulling toward a C resolution with a spicy, unresolved tension.

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 G string open, then place your ring finger on the C string at fret 3, your index finger on the E string at fret 1, and your middle finger on the A string at fret 2. The trick is keeping the open G ringing while the ring finger reaches fret 3 — arch it well so it doesn't deaden the strings around it.
