Csus4 Ukulele Chord
A bright, unsettled suspended chord made of C, F and G. Replacing C major's E with an F, it leans forward and wants to fall home to plain C, which makes it a favorite in folk strums, rock riffs and pop intros.
Also known as
- C sus4
- C suspended 4th
- C suspended fourth
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
Leave the G and C strings open, set your index on the E string at the first fret, and reach your ring finger to the A string at the third fret. The stretch between those two fingers is the main hurdle, so keep your thumb low behind the neck and let the open strings ring clean.
