About A augmented
The A augmented chord is made up of A (root), C# (major third) and E# (augmented fifth). In scale degrees above the root, the formula is 1 – 3 – #5. It is an augmented chord: it stacks two major thirds and sounds ambiguous and suspended, as if it wants to resolve.
A augmented has no standard open shape in the CAGED system, so its 34 voicings are sorted only by difficulty and position on the neck.
