What notes are in the E Augmented scale?
The E Augmented scale uses the notes E, G, G♯, B, C, D♯ (one octave; the pattern repeats at higher registers).
What's the Augmented scale formula?
The Augmented scale follows the interval pattern W+H H W+H H W+H H, where W = whole step (2 semitones) and H = half step (1 semitone). Apply that pattern starting on E to get the E Augmented scale.
What chords work over E Augmented?
Try chord pairings derived from the scale's third, fifth, and seventh degrees as roots — they share the most diatonic notes.
How do I finger E Augmented on Bass Guitar?
On bass, scales follow the same position-pattern logic as guitar but with two-notes-per-string most often. Walking-bass-line construction draws on chord-tone-arpeggiation through the scale; see /walking-bass for the standalone surface (once it ships).
When would I use the Augmented scale?
Alternating minor 3rd and half step. Six notes; symmetric every major 3rd. Modern jazz / fusion colour.
