What notes are in G♭aug?
G♭aug, G♭ augmented, is G♭, B♭ and D: the root (G♭), the major third (B♭) and the augmented fifth (D). Its formula is 1 3 ♯5.
Why do G♭aug and two other augmented chords have the same notes?
An augmented chord is two major thirds stacked, G♭, B♭ and D, and a third more brings you back to G♭. So G♭aug has the same notes as the augmented chords on B♭ and D.
