Sus 4 and Add 2 Strums
Many folk, rock, or country songs
use chords other than basic Majors and minors to enhance a simple strum
pattern. Sus 4 and add 2 chords are probably used
the most.
The Sus 4
Sus is an abbreviation for suspended. There is a very easy
trick for remembering suspended chords. The third of a Major chord is replaced
with the note a half step above it. It's that simple. First try the triad
chords, then the full chords.
 |
- Keep the 2nd finger on when moving to the
sus chord.
- Full sus chord - flatten
the 1st finger a bit to mute out the 1st string.
