Dsus4 Ukulele Chord
An open, ringing suspended chord built from D, G and A. The fourth replaces the third to create a gentle pull back toward D major, a sound woven through folk, rock and worship songs in intros and turnarounds.

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
Keep the G and A strings open, place your middle finger on the C string at the second fret, and your ring finger on the E string at the third fret. Keep both fretting fingers arched on their tips so the open outer strings stay clear and don't get accidentally muted.
