Tips for playing Baug on guitar
On guitar, Baug has an open-position shape, x21003, using three fingers alongside the open strings. Don’t strum the low E string.
Notice the F𝄪 in Baug (B D♯ F𝄪): each note of the chord takes its own letter (B–D–F), so the augmented 5th has to be written F𝄪 rather than G — the same key on a piano, spelled to fit the chord.
