    What is an augmented and diminished chord?

    An augmented chord is created by raising the fifth of a major chord by a half step, resulting in a chord with a "sharpened" or augmented fifth. On the other hand, a diminished chord is formed by lowering the fifth of a minor chord by a half step, leading to a chord with a "flattened" or diminished fifth.
