Songs that use Sus4 and Sus2 chords

The sus2 starting from the A string on guitar is my favorite chord, only cuz it’s hard to hit a regular barre lol

Should have used HEYAYAYAYA he man song...

The sus2 chord just sounds like the music from Cities Skylines

At least a significant part of Frank Zappa´s 'St. Alphonso's Pancake Breakfast' is based on sus chords.

This is such an informative and well put together video keep up the high quality good work

You should definitely propose your piece to Mojang: it would make a perfect Minecraft OST !

amogus

home- resonance is built from sus chord only if im not mistaken.

As a guitar player, these chords are the best. They sound so ethereally good, and has a sort of sense of mystery and melancholy.

I believe the intro to Peter Gabriel’s “Solsbury Hill” uses both suspended chords of B major. The progression is Bsus4, B, Bsus4, B, Bsus2

sus chords always sound to me like liminal photos

Great composition

Dear David, thank you for providing valuable information.

yes i love to use suspicious chords for their tension

I don't know if it's just me, but my ears really want sus2 to go to the fifth chord, e.g a C sus 2 to resolve to G with its third at the bottom (i.e. C-D-G to B-D-G)

Wow ❤ so useful & application based!!! Nothing better than theory explained with examples of songs 🔥✨💯

I think that not mentioning Merry Xmas is unforgetable

Boards of canada does have music using only sus4 chords. I love the sound of that so i use alot of open sus tunings on my guitar

tokio hotel - durch den monsun to me is one of the greatest uses of this tool. that riff is so memorable.

your sus-song has a feeling of flying through endless space

A sus2 chord is just an inverted sus4 chord.

i was sure that you where going to put every breath you take - the police

I dont like sus chords resolving

AMOGUS

Today I realised I've always loved sus songs

If anyone remembers Blessid Union of Souls's "Brother My Brother", which was used in that first Pokemon movie soundtrack, it's almost entirely built on sus2 chords. It is supplemented with other standard chords, but mostly sus2, and I think that's part of what gives it the emotional quality it has. That Dsus2 into G major at the end of the chorus is beautiful

George Micheal Father Figure sus2

Why no discussion of retardation?

I feel Ike a sus2 chord resolving to a minor chord sounds like a satisfying resolution.

It is my understanding that when a chord is labeled "sus" (not specifying sus2 or sus4) it is up to the individual to pick the sus chord type to use, not because it is assumed to be sus4. I could have this wrong though. Would've been nice to have given a shout out to Marty for use of his clip

David! great video as usual!!! What about "winner takes it all" from ABBA? I think is interesting as they constantly play with a phase of Sus4 + 3rd + Sus2 + Tonic... which s brillant, IMO.

Wheres Azure Lake?

Thank you for an very indepth review of sus chords: I was struggling to understand what they were.

The intro/verses in message in a bottle are built around suspended 2nds

I love your composition! It's really cool how the Ebsus2 chord could act as an almost-tonic. Also, you did a good job explaining sus chords.

Bb-sus-2 F-sus-4

this is perfect and very usefull tutorial video about music, thank you

The sibilance on the evocation of the sus is totally Sus

Gsus4 loves you

I love the simplicity of the intro/verse chord progression in Read My Mind by The Killers, which is just I Isus4 Isus2 V (of course, Isus2 is essentially also Vsus4). It sounds almost hymnal.

Erasure’s A Little Respect also comes to mind immediately when I think of suspended chords!

sus 4 often acts as the Sub Dominant in a way...

Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald starts with a sus 2 and even though the other chords are triads it never plays the third of the tonic so you never know if it is in a minor or major key.

Csus2 does work as a substitute for the ii chord in a ii-V-I progression, imo. For instance, instead of a Dm-G-C, you could do Csus2/D-G7-C.

The first verses of Rush's Natural Science is entirely played using Sus2 chords. Alex Lifeson loves this type of chords

@David what would be the correct chord name for CEF? Cadd4?

As a beginning guitarist I took away a couple songs to learn and focus on the sus chords and rhythm changes, thank you!

PLEAAASEEE DO MORE BRIAN WILSON/BEACH BOYS EXAMPLES ON HARMONY/CHORD VIDEOS I BEG YOUU.
