D#7 Ukulele Chord
A warm, slightly exotic dominant seventh built from D#, G, A#, and C#. It naturally resolves toward G#, and shows up in bluesier and jazzier tunes as a colorful V chord that craves release.

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
Set a flat index-finger barre across the G, C, and E strings at the third fret, then place your middle finger on the A string at the fourth fret. Higher up the neck the frets sit closer together, so a barre here is a touch easier; just keep steady pressure and let your wrist drop forward.
