How to play D♭aug
About the D♭ augmented chord
Playing it
On guitar, the usual D♭aug shape is x-x-11-10-10-9 at the 9th fret. It has no open strings, so it’s a movable shape — slide it along the neck for other augmented chords. Don’t strum the low E and A strings.
On piano, D♭aug has one black key (D♭) and two white keys.
On ukulele the usual D♭aug shape is 2110, using three fingers.
