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