sus4 chords, often just called "sus" for short, are built with root, 4th, and 5th chord tones. The 3rd is suspended up to the 4th, that's what "sus4" means. Find these interactive diagrams at here: https://www.guitarthinker.com/lessons/open-sus-chords Very often in charts, especially modern worship, it will just show up as sus, and not necessarily sus4, which can cause confusion - ask me about this if not sure... The difference between these and add4 or add1 chords, is that the "sus" replaces the third of the chord with the 4th, whereas the add4 keeps the third and adds the 4th. Usually add11 works better especially in minor chords, because it may have enough separation from the third, normally a 1/2 step away, that it doesn't sound as dissonant. Questions?! If you do, let's get on a call and I'll demonstrate it for you...

TL;DR: I'm going to fix somethings here/ streamline - you're input is requested... Please take the poll! It's been made aware to me that I need to help you know how to go from point A to point B, etc within this community. 😒 Life has often gotten in the way of me helping this community to be what my vision for it was almost two years ago, when I started it. Part of me feels like it should be farther along than it is, but wisdom says instead focusing on what isn't or what hasn't worked thus far, instead let's focus on what is working and how to improve it upon that... 🙂 So I want to cut anything that doesn't need to be here (cut out the fluff), remove anything that is confusing or that isn't streamlined, and make the flow here a lot more obvious and easier to navigate. With all that being said, how can I improve what is offered here? 🙄 I'm taking every and all suggestions to soft relaunch this community, because I myself and a few others see the potential here. 😃 What would you like to see more of here: Please take the poll: 👇
