Augmented chords are relatively rare, especially if you’re playing the kind of progressions associated with blues and rock’n'roll. However, they crop up a reasonable amount in jazz and classic showtunes, and can sometimes be heard in more modern pop ballads - usually as passing chords rather than the major harmony in a progression. Forming them is dead easy.
If you have any questions on augmented chords or other aspects of harmony, post them in the comments thread and I’ll do my best to help!
