C#7 Ukulele Chord
A tense, jazzy dominant seventh spelled C#, F, G#, and B. It leans hard toward F# as its home key, making it a stylish turnaround in jazz and bluesy progressions where a little chromatic color is welcome.

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
Lay your index finger flat as a small barre across the G, C, and E strings at the first fret, then reach your middle finger to the A string at the second fret. The barre is the tricky part for beginners, so press near the fret and roll slightly onto the bony side of your index for even pressure.
