Now we are back at C+, our starting point. If we invert the last chord, we come back to C – E – G#. Let’s repeat the process to go back to the first chord. We see this chord as C+ in second inversion, E+ in first inversion, and G#+ in root position. Notice there is still a major third interval between the notes. This chord is both a C+ in first inversion and E+ in root position.Į+ in first inversion is G# – C – E. Once again, these notes are a major third apart from each other. If we invert this chord, the first inversion reads E – G# – C. An augmented C triad can be indicated in two ways: C+ or Caug. As we can see, each note is a major third apart ( Root + Major Third + Major Third). This makes the chord formula ( R 3 #5).Īs an example, let’s take the C+ triad. In the case of the augmented triad, there is a major third between 1 and 3, 3 and #5, #5 and 1. This makes augmented triads symmetrical, meaning the distance from the 1 to 3, and 3 to 5 is the same (the other symmetrical triad is the diminished triad). Unlike the major and minor triads, which include both major and minor thirds, the augmented triad has two major thirds stacked from the root.
