F# Ascending Augmented
I – I+ – I6 – I7 progression in F# major
F# Ascending Augmented — I – I+ – I6 – I7
The F# Ascending Augmented progression (F# – F#aug – F#6 – F#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 (F#Maj7 – F#aug – F#6 – F#7), the chromatic ascent gains even more harmonic richness.
