"Now I'll discuss an augmented chord. Earlier we discussed a flat five chord, which meant a major chord. One, three, and five, with the fifth scale degree lowered by a half step. Now augmented means you're going to raise the fifth degree by a half step. So, essentially, you would have root third and augmented fifth, or sharp five. So, if we go back to our G chord, the G triad, major triad, was G, B, D. So if we want a G augmented chord we want G, B, D sharp. So, let's take a look here. Here's our G chord. Now, we found that this was the D because we're on the C string, up a half step to C sharp, up another half step to D. So, if we raise this note by a half step, that'll make this an augmented fifth. We still have the third and the root note in there. So, (demo) we get that sound, which is a G augmented five."
