Like Dsus or Dsus2.
Dsus2 what the %@^$ is that?
# 1
It means a suspension. Dsus2 is a Dmajor with a suspended second.
D-F#-A-E
D-F#-A-E

Wait a minute.....
I'm not sure what you guys are saying....
That reads incorrectly. The Sus designition indicates that the chord has no traditional third.
D-E-A is Dsus2
D-G-A is Dsus4
Sus2 and Sus4 are the only type of Sus chords. Sus is short for suspended 3rd. Meaning that the chord should resolve (traditionally speaking of course) to D (major triad).
Sus chords can not contain the major or minor 3rd, in this case F or F#.
Otherwise they would be called Dadd9 (DF#AE) or Dadd11 (DF#AG).

you gotta learn some theory mate. its the composition of the chord itself.
most chords have 3 notes in, the first or root (ie D in D sus 2) and two others
its the middle note thats changed here, and just like a minor changes the middle note, so does a sus.
like a 7th chord, it can sound 'unfinished'
very sweet sounding chord, play it along with D and D sus 4, easy to play as well
serious though, spend some time on theory, and how chords are built. invaluable.
****e, just re read this thread, ive probably confused you more, what a divvy!

Ah, my mistake. In classical, chords with suspensions don't necessarily leave out the third, it can be doubled and such.

a suspended2 also a sus2, basically if you know you major scales you should understand this,,,,,ok say you have the C major scale,,C D E F G A B
K if a major chord is based on the R,3,and 5 of the scale then a sus2 (or any kind of suspended) chord is just going to replace it with what number it has
so a sus2 is replacing the 3rd with the 2nd of the major scale, in the key of C, a major scale is C E G, now just replace the C with the D, now you have CDG, a sus2 chord,, im only 14
