Chord & FretCsus4 on ukulele
On the ukulele, the high reentrant G makes every shape light — and with four strings, every note is exposed. In this Csus4 voicing the bass is C and the shape runs from fret 1 to 3, ringing 2 open strings. Its soft nylon strings sound warm and mellow, light enough to float gently over a song.
Notes in Csus4: C – F – GFormula: 1 – 4 – 5In the formula, the numbers count steps of the major scale starting from the note that names the chord; "b" lowers a half step, "#" raises one — and a slash names the bass note.
