This is just a misunderstanding of the numbers: they are not fret
numbers but fingering numbers. It is a bit unusual that they are
present by default: typically players are expected to figure them out on
their own, and sometimes they are just inscribed in the dots.
I agree with David's assessment that the reporter misunderstood the numbers,
which are fingering numbers. The presence or absence of fingering numbers is a
house style decision. Most of the popular music piano/guitar/vocal books that
I have use finger numbers; they are about equally split between having the
numbers at the bottom of the diagram and having numbers in the dots.
f:aug is clearly wrong, aes:aug has the right notes but the root note is
awkward, not being the lowest. I have no idea how guitarists would feel
about that.
The diagrams and fingerings came from my reference "The Big Gig Bag Book of
Guitar Chords". I don't have enough experience to vouch for the diagrams; I
just copied the information. I would be happy to replace any diagrams with
correct diagrams as reported by somebody with more expertise than me.
Thanks,
Carl
