C7+ is usually used as shorthand for C 7th Augmented - played most simply like this:


e)--x--
b)--9--
g)--9--
d)--8--
a)--7--
e)--8--

Hope that makes sense!

Sorry that doesn't tell you how to finger it - I do it this way:

first finger full barre at 7th fret
2nd finger low E string
3rd finger D string
little finger barre G & B strings - lift it a little away from the tip and it dampens the top E string

then you just move the shape down to the 2nd fret (first finger) for G7+ of course the root note's the 3rd fret bottom string.

But there are other ways - if I remember rightly though this is how Mr Fripp fingered it - years since I saw them live though!

it looks like a jazz or blues chord
