C#maj7 Ukulele Chord

A lush, slightly jazzy major seventh made of C#, F, G# and C. The C on top sits a half step under the root for that signature floating shimmer, at home in bossa nova, neo-soul and reflective ballads.

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 across the G, C and E strings at the first fret as a small barre, then reach your ring finger to the A string at the third fret. Roll the index slightly onto its side so the bone, not the soft pad, presses the strings down and stops them buzzing.
