F7sus4 Ukulele Chord

A funky, restless dominant suspension spelled F, A#, C and D#. It shines in soul and funk vamps and as a V chord that wants to slide into A#.

Also known as

  • F 7sus4
  • F dominant 7th suspended 4th

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 your index on the E string at the first fret, then reach the middle to the G string at the third fret, ring to the C string at the third fret, and pinky to the A string at the third fret. The lone low index can feel awkward, so plant it first as an anchor and let the upper three fingers form a tidy block in the third fret.
