About C augmented
The C augmented chord is made up of C (root), E (major third) and G# (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.
C augmented has no standard open shape in the CAGED system, so its 29 voicings are sorted only by difficulty and position on the neck.
