Thank you for taking the time.

So one more thing that is sort of important to get a better grip on now while I work to remembering the shapes and fingersetting for triads is how to use embellisments with triads.

On open chords or even barre chords we or at least me I often fall for an easy escape. I end up using sus chords. Often that is just swapping between the chord, sus 2 and sus 4. I think it is time to explore this further, reason I am kind of stuck on the sus chords is tbh lack of imagination and skills or possible to little knowledge of music theory and too little jamming with other musicians.

How would you go about it say over a I IV V progression? Or a I ii IV V? In other words, pop and rock songs, new and old ones.

What other spices should I look into other then sus chords? Remember this is for a triad setting.
