    In this piano tutorial, we talk about sus chords, sus4 & sus2. Sus is short for suspended and they are neither major or minor. If you ever see a 'sus' with no number, this is normally referring to a sus4.
    To play a sus chord you have to omit the 3rd and replace it with either the 2nd or 4th.
    Suspended chords are unresolved chords, meaning they want to go somewhere else for a resolution. There are many ways to resolve these chords, but some the most common ways are to either resolve down to the 5th below, or just lower/raise the 2nd/4th back to the 3rd.
    If you have any questions, just leave a comment below!

      Mark McCarrell >>> I dunno man.... yes I see your point, but sometimes speed in the fewest words possible isn’t always the name of the game. Sometimes the details are important too and if they take a tad longer to explain, then I’d rather come away learning more.
      I think today’s society is too enthralled with a lack of delayed gratification, and your comment merely feeds into this.
      That whole “lead, follow, or get out of the way” mentality that people have, really irks me.

      if we learn theory like chords, intervals, modes and so many others, we can apply it to any instrument.
      we just need to know HOW to put them to use cause we can’t play a piano like a guitar.
      happy practicing!

      Hey, What if Cmsus2? Are the notes are C,C#/Db,G? And Cmsus4 then it will be C chord because the notes are C,E,G? Thank you for the lesson.

      @Nathan-ch7hu 5 лет назад +1

      Hey, What if Cmsus2 and Cmsus4? Cmsus2 will be notes are C,Db,G? And Cmsus4 would be C,E,G which means going back to normal C chord? Thank you for the lesson.

    • @secretmission7607
      @secretmission7607 5 лет назад +3

      @@Nathan-ch7hu There's no such chord as a Cmsus 2 or Cmsus4. Why? Because a minor chord by definition contains the 3rd degree of a minor scale, while a sus chord by definition does not contain the 3rd degree of the scale. The 3rd is replaced by the 4th or the 2nd degree in a sus chord - that's what a sus chord is!
      So even if you had started off with a minor chord, once you made it a 'sus' chord the third is no longer a part of chord so you end up with a plain old sus4 or sus2 chord. Hope that helps.

    Also one thing I notice: the major triad sound happier, minor triad sadder, and in the same way the sus4 has more half notes spaced out in the lower part and sounds happier, like a major triad does which also has more half notes spaced out in the lower part, and a sus2 sounds sadder and it has fewer half notes in the lower part like a minor.
