Tips for playing F♯aug on guitar
On guitar, F♯aug has an open-position shape, 21033x, using four fingers alongside the open strings. Don’t strum the high E string.
Notice the C𝄪 in F♯aug (F♯ A♯ C𝄪): each note of the chord takes its own letter (F–A–C), so the augmented 5th has to be written C𝄪 rather than D — the same key on a piano, spelled to fit the chord.
