Tips for playing D♭7sus4 on ukulele
On ukulele the usual D♭7sus4 shape is 1122, using four fingers.
Notice the C♭ in D♭7sus4 (D♭ G♭ A♭ C♭): each note of the chord takes its own letter (D–G–A–C), so the minor 7th has to be written C♭ rather than B — the same key on a piano, spelled to fit the chord.
