In this lesson we’ll discuss the theory of how to build suspended 4th chords.
Here’s part four in our little series of learning how to make two guitar parts work together without playing the same thing. In this one, we’re going to focus on sus4 and sus9 chords specifically.
Here’s a followup lesson to to the previous one on sus4 chords, as well as the third in our series of learning how to play with two guitars.
In this lesson we’re going to start taking a look at suspended chords; specifically, the suspended fourths. A suspended fourth is a chord in which we’ve removed the third that is normally found in the chord, and replaced it with a fourth. So your basic chord structure would look like this: I, IV, V. An example would be Gsus4, which would look like this: G (I), C (IV), D (V). Remember, those are the notes in the G chord, not separate chords.
