C7sus2 on ukulele
On the ukulele, the high reentrant G makes every shape light — and with four strings, every note is exposed. In this C7sus2 voicing the bass is C and the shape runs from fret 3 to 5, ringing 1 open string. Its soft nylon strings sound warm and mellow, light enough to float gently over a song.

Where to use it: Open folk and pop accompaniments; a good passing colour before the chord commits.
