C♯sus2 ukulele chord

The shape

Tap the diagram to hear C♯sus2 strummed on the ukulele. C♯sus2 on ukulele is 1344 — a higher-position shape; a tenor or concert uke handles it most comfortably.

Standard gCEA high-Gtuning (soprano / concert / tenor). Baritone ukulele (DGBE) uses different shapes and isn't covered here yet.

The notes in C♯sus2

Because the uke's high-G string is re-entrant (it's a high note, not a bass), these notes don't stack low-to-high like a guitar — but the chord is the same: C♯ (R), D♯ (2), G♯ (5).

What a suspended second chord is

a sus2 replaces the third with the second (root, 2nd, 5th) — no third means no major or minor, just open air.

How it's used: Not really major or minor, it colours any chord it stands in for. Let a sus2 ring, then drop the third back in and the chord 'resolves'.

The sound: Open, chiming, ambiguous — bright but unfixed. Where you'll hear it: Ringing acoustic and arena-rock parts, ambient and dream-pop textures.
