The sus2 chord

The sus 2 chord (suspended 2 or add 9) is a beautiful chord that adds color to a major chord. To get a sus 2 chord add the 2^nd interval of the major scale to the major triad. The major triad has the intervals 1, 3, 5. You may need to delete the 1 or 3 replacing it with the 2 to accommodate the chord fingering. An easy way to find the 2 is adding the note that is one whole tone above the chord as shown below:

C chord add a D note

D chord add a E note

E chord add a F# note

F chord add a G note

G chord add a A note

A chord add a B note

B chord add a C# note
