Fretboard Reference

Augmented Triads Across the Neck

The augmented triad is stacked from two major thirds, so it has no true inversions — root position, 1st, and 2nd inversion of a given shape are the exact same three frets. Only the note you call root changes.

E · A · D A · D · G D · G · B G · B · e
Root
♯5th
3rd

Low E string on the left, high e on the right. Notice each column repeats the same three dots in every row — that repetition is the lesson, not a mistake.
