A# Ascending Augmented — I – I+ – I6 – I7

The A# Ascending Augmented progression (A# – A#aug – A#6 – A#7) is a line cliché that holds the tonic in the bass while an inner voice climbs chromatically upward. The augmented chord creates a feeling of yearning and anticipation — ideal for ballad introductions. With seventh chord voicings (A#Maj7 – A#aug – A#6 – A#7), the chromatic ascent gains even more harmonic richness.
