Suspended Chords: The Basics + How To Write with Sus2 and Sus4 (Part 1 of 2)

Even if you know the basics, make sure you stick around till the end of this video to see some sus chord flexibility! Also you'll see a freak video editing glitch that I'm leaviing in. I really don't want to re-render and re-upload this video as ugly as it is, It's just a huge pain to do that and means I wouldn't be able to repost this video till tomorrow, so enjoy the huge ugly error :)

Ah
The impostor chords

Great video - please make one on diminished chords and any other great chords.

Just a comment for the algorythm, as I barely understand what you talking about, as I am beginning serious travel through music theory. This tutorial is great so as a beginner I will leave you few more views under ur movies :D Peace Everyone ❤

Tremendous! Thank you... your instant fan! Thank you... as a 1-year guitar newbie, this is amazing.

How on earth do you remember all this stuff? My brain is melting!
Loved your solo!

thank you!

You make theory easier to understand, still quite complex but it's very helpful in making more sense out of it

Anybody else think this guy looks and sounds just like Michael Knowles from
Daily Wire? Or is it him?😂

Summer of 69 is a good example

Sounding like Porcupine Tree Steve Wilson vibes😀

Do you have a lesson where you put together parallel modes, secondary dominants and sus chords into one collection of chords to draw from? Or would you not use secondary dominants if you're also using sus chords? I just think it would be interesting to see a progression that uses everything you've taught.

Great teacher. Thanks!

Was really enjoying the video, and then I saw the random frog petting session during the jam... and now I'm REALLY enjoying this video.

When that song moved to Lydian I could imagine Satriani shredding it up. He loves Lydian.

Play a song in the key of Tenacious D Major.

Oh.. My... God 20 years I've been wanting to make this kind of sound but never knew how to

I've always found it funny that it is called a "sus" chord. We don't call them "dim" chords or "min" or "Maj" or "aug" chords. The name of the chord explains what it does. A suspended chord suspends (removes) the 3rd. Not to be petty but calling it a "sus" chord is just lazy and confusing. BTW, you really are the best guitar instructor on the internet. And that is saying a lot. I've learned a ton from you. I especially like the video on motifs.

hey man i am addicted of your videoes

I love sus chords
The are beautiful, especially sus4

Always the best help! Thanks brother!

You remind me of someone in Oklahoma City.

I play keyboard and for decades I’ve asked a guitar player while jamming what chord they were playing and they’d say “It’s a power chord.” They couldn’t tell me what that meant. It was just a few years ago that I found out a power chord is simply the 1st and the 5th without the third and without replacing the third with the second or fourth. Technically it’s an interval but it blew my mind that so many guitar players couldn’t just say suspend the third. 😃

The rule that you explained where you can only create sus4 and sus2 chords with the 1,2,5, and 6 chords of a scale, does that only apply to a major scale, because I tried it out in a minor scale and it did not apply the same way?

Great video. Thanks!

Every time you hit that Asus2 at the beginning I'm in Diablo 2.

great video man! well thought!

Tenacious D is as boring as Pink Floyd and Tim Pool.

amazıng vıdeo ihad so much fun watching it :}}}

That Asus2 sending you straight to the Rogue Camp in diablo 2.

C sus2 and G sus4 are they the same chords??? Notes used are the same notes for both the chords..

and just like that im a rock star🎉

😎 dude

Wowww u r awesome dude

Amazing explanation of the theory behind my "filler notes". Thanks! ❤❤❤

In the minor key... The slow must go on by queen springs to mind

Great class! Subscribed.

I have really grow to love his videos. His delivery is quick and clean. Thanks much!!!!

Cool thanks!

I love sus chords. I think they are my fave

How can anyone ever retain any information if you don't ever take a beat or two to allow the listener to wrap their head around new information. Not everyone is jacked on Adderall.

Best explanation ever! Thank you 😊

Dude you made me smile and jump up to show my wife when you said they sound "gospely and Churchy", because when I tell people Dimebag not only favored these "gospel" chords but wrote one of the greatest solos in all of rock history in Floods. That song was my intro to suspended chords and months and months (and months) of trying to teach myself something so complex where simply memorizing fret numbers blew up in my face. Back to square 1 it was lol

if were not allowed to play notes that are not in key, then why can we play the a minor with a c?

Thanks Jake your a Gem in the in the sonic universe shinning bright. Best regards. John.
