About Caug/E
Caug/E is C Augmented with E as the lowest note. This is the 1st inversion of the chord — the same notes as C Augmented (C, E, G#), but voiced so that E sits in the bass. Slash chords create a smoother bass line movement and are common in chord progressions where the bass walks stepwise.
