G7sus4 Ukulele Chord
A spacious, open dominant suspended chord built on G, C, D and F, where the suspended fourth softens the dominant's bluesy edge. It makes an easy hovering V chord in folk and country and resolves smoothly into C.

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
Keep the G string open and use three fingers staggered across the neck: index on the E string at the first fret, middle on the C string at the second fret, ring on the A string at the third fret. Because the fingers climb fret by fret, keep them well arched so the open G string still rings clear underneath.
