Esus2 Ukulele Chord
A spacious suspended chord built from E, F# and B. With no third it floats between bright and dark, lending an open, ringing quality to folk and rock and gently coloring an E major chord.
Also known as
- E sus2
- E suspended 2nd
- E suspended second
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
Lay your index across the E and A strings at fret 2, then stretch your ring finger to the G string at fret 4 and your pinky to the C string at fret 4. The two upper fingers crowd close together, so curl them tightly and press near the frets so the barred strings below stay clear.
