Fmaj7♯5
F Major 7th Sharp 5 · 4 fingerings
Raising the fifth of a major seventh gives Fmaj7♯5 a bright, floating, faintly unresolved character — the sound of the Lydian augmented mode. It appears in jazz, film scoring, and modern R&B where a tonic chord needs to shimmer rather than settle. Beautiful in the right context, jarring in the wrong one.
