C Augmented
Caug is made of 3 notes: C, E and G#. Here it is in root position, with C at the bottom.
Inside Notley Piano: all the inversions of Caug, fingering for both hands, a play button, and practice that helps you remember it.
| Note | Degree | Interval from C |
|---|---|---|
| C | 1 | root |
| E | 3 | major 3rd |
| G# | #5 | augmented 5th |
An augmented chord raises the 5th of a major chord by a half step. It sounds dreamy and suspenseful, and it often links two chords together.
