C#m7 Ukulele Chord

Built from C#, E, G# and B, this minor seventh has a soft, dreamy character that takes the edge off a plain minor chord. It sits comfortably in jazz, soul and pop ballads, often serving as a gentle, restful stop in keys like E major or B major.

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

Index goes on the G string at the first fret while middle takes the C string, also at the first fret; ring presses the A string at the second fret, and the E string stays open. Keep the E ringing clearly by arching your ring finger so it doesn't lean against it, and let the open string sing.
