G#aug7 Ukulele Chord

Stacking G#, C, E, and F#, G#aug7 is a dominant seventh given an unsettled glow by its sharpened fifth. It carries a moody, jazz-leaning tension that suits funk vamps and turnarounds where the V chord needs an extra edge before it resolves.

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

Place your index finger on the G string at fret 1, middle on the E string at fret 2, ring on the A string at fret 3, and pinky on the C string at fret 4. The pinky on fret 4 is the strain here — keep your thumb low behind the neck and angle the hand so the smallest finger can press firmly.
