D#7sus4 Ukulele Chord

A lush, unresolved dominant suspended chord made of D#, G#, A# and C#. The hanging fourth gives it a soulful, expectant color, common in funk grooves and jazzy turnarounds that delay the landing.

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

Form a two-finger double barre up the neck: index flat across the G and C strings at the third fret, middle flat across the E and A strings at the fourth fret. Anchor the index firmly and let the middle finger reach just one fret higher, keeping both barres parallel so every string speaks clearly.
