The E augmented seventh chord, known as E7#5, is a fascinating blend of notes that creates a unique, edgy sound. Built from the notes E, G#, B#, and D, this chord includes a root, a major third, an augmented fifth (which is just a sharpened perfect fifth), and a minor seventh. Its slightly tense and unresolved quality makes it perfect for jazz and blues, where musicians love to add a touch of unexpected colour.

It's a great choice for adding spice to any chord progression, making listeners perk up and take notice.
