C#sus2 Ukulele Chord
An airy, unresolved suspended chord built from C#, D# and G#. Neither major nor minor, it brings a floating quality to pop and ambient passages and makes a nice color before settling onto C# 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
Place your index on the G string at fret 1 and your middle on the C string at fret 3, then lay your ring finger across the E and A strings at fret 4. That little ring-finger barre is the tricky part — press just behind the fret and roll the finger slightly so both strings sound.
