The augmented arpeggio raises the 5th of a major triad — a symmetrical shape that repeats every major third for an unsettled, whole-tone colour.
The augmented arpeggio raises the 5th of a major triad — a symmetrical shape that repeats every major third for an unsettled, whole-tone colour. On guitar, the g augmented arpeggio uses the notes G, B, D♯ — the diagram above shows every one of them across all positions of the neck, with the root (G) highlighted so you can anchor each shape.
KnowYourNeck turns this into an interactive neck you can rotate through every position, switch between note names and scale degrees, and drill one box at a time with Focus Mode. It's the fastest way to actually learn the augmented arpeggio instead of just reading a chart.
