B7sus4 Ukulele Chord

A bright, tense dominant suspension spelled B, E, F# and A, with the suspended fourth lending a floating lift before it resolves. It serves as a jazzy or funky V chord that hovers, then settles toward E.

Also known as

  • B 7sus4
  • B dominant 7th suspended 4th

How to Play This Chord

Position your fingers on the fretboard as shown in the diagram. The vertical lines represent the four strings, from the top G string (left) to the A string (right), and the horizontal lines are the frets. Numbers inside the dots indicate which finger to use: 1 (index), 2 (middle), 3 (ring), 4 (pinky). An X means don't play that string; an O means play it open. A bar spanning multiple strings means one finger presses across all of them at once — this is known as a barre chord.

Tips & Tricks

This is the A#7sus4 barre moved up a fret: index barred flat across all four strings at the second fret, with the ring finger on the C string at the fourth fret. Press the barre from the side of the index for even pressure, and keep the ring finger arched high so the barred E and A strings beneath it still sound.
