Csus2 chord on ukulele
Csus2 is the suspended 2 chord: C, D and G (1–2–5). On ukulele, the diagram shape is 0 2 3 3, with D in the bass.
On the ukulele, the high reentrant G makes every shape light — and with four strings, every note is exposed. In this Csus2 voicing the bass is D and the shape runs from fret 2 to 3, ringing 1 open string. Its soft nylon strings sound warm and mellow, light enough to float gently over a song.
