E Aug Chord on 12-String Guitar
Play E Aug on 12-String Guitar: diagrams, finger positions, intervals, and every voicing up and down the neck for this instrument.
The E Aug chord is an augmented chord with a raised fifth that creates restless, unresolved tension. It is built from the notes E, G#, C. This page shows how to play E Aug on 12-String Guitar with clear fretboard diagrams and suggested finger positions.
Both E strings ring open in the lowest shape, with the remaining notes fretted at fret 1 over a 3-fret stretch. The root is the E string itself. It sounds from E2 up to E4. 2 voicings are charted, the highest starting at fret 7.
12-String Guitar is strung in six courses of two, the lower four 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.
Browse alternate voicings to find the one that sits best under your fingers, then compare it with the other chord types built on E or explore the same shape in nearby keys. The diagrams list the notes in each voicing so you can connect the shape to the theory behind it.
