G#augMaj7 Ukulele Chord

Exotic and faintly dissonant, G#augMaj7 raises the fifth of a major 7th to sound G#, C, E, and G in a tight, glassy cluster. Reach for it as a rare passing color in jazz ballads or a suspenseful film score.

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 on the G string at fret 1, then bunch the upper fingers close: middle finger on the E string at fret 3, ring finger on the A string at fret 3, and pinky on the C string at fret 4. The crowded grip is the difficulty — keep the fingers steeply arched so each pad clears the neighboring string.
