F#sus4 Ukulele Chord

A crisp, hanging suspended chord made of F#, B and C#. The raised fourth replaces the third to create tension that wants to settle into F# major, a useful color in pop, rock and reggae-flavored progressions.

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

Spread your index onto the C string at the first fret, your middle on the E string at the second, your ring on the G string at the fourth, and your pinky on the A string at the fourth. All four fingers are in play here, so curl each one onto its tip and take the wide stretch slowly until the shape feels settled.
