Fsus4 Ukulele Chord
A warm, leaning suspended chord built from F, A# and C. With its fourth standing in for the third, it sits in soft tension and resolves naturally to F major, a common touch in folk, pop and singer-songwriter strumming.
Also known as
- F sus4
- F suspended 4th
- F suspended fourth
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 flat across the E and A strings at the first fret, leave the C string open, and reach your ring finger up to the G string at the third fret. Keeping that open C ringing between two fretted strings is the trick, so arch your ring finger on its tip and let the small barre handle the bottom two strings.
