Here's one of my licks... it uses the b5 and #5 of it's related major scale to get an augmented sound.

When I’m on stage with Drive or at the jazz gig I like to play tight little chords that leave a little bit of extra space in the sound… You end up with something like the chord movements that Wes Montgommery was doing or maybe more like Jim Hall.

Here's a cool little turn around for any standard blues tune.

I love using augmented triads over the V.
