G#sus4 Ukulele Chord
A tense, four-fingered suspended chord built from G#, C# and D#. The fourth replaces the third for an unresolved sound that leans into G# major, a flavor that turns up in rock, pop and gospel cadences.

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
Place your index on the G string at the first fret, your middle on the C string at the second, your ring on the E string at the third, and your pinky on the A string at the third. The staircase shape can crowd your fingers, so keep them well arched on their tips and give the pinky room to press firmly without flattening.
