The A# Aug chord is an augmented chord with a raised fifth that creates restless, unresolved tension. It is built from the notes A#, D, F#. This page shows how to play A# Aug on Puerto Rican Cuatro with clear fretboard diagrams and suggested finger positions.
The D string ring open in the lowest shape, with the remaining notes fretted at fret 1 over a 3-fret stretch. A# falls on the A string. It sounds from F#3 up to A#4.
Puerto Rican Cuatro is strung in five courses of two, the lower two paired an octave apart, so each stopped note here sounds as two — which is why the shape rings thicker than the same grip on a single-strung instrument.
