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 G♯ to get the G♯ Augmented scale.

Alternating minor 3rd and half step. Six notes; symmetric every major 3rd. Modern jazz / fusion colour.
