[ZeppelinFloydRoses]

I love using sus chords.

[queenireneee]

Ohmygosh, thank you so much! This is by far the best explanation of the sus chord I have found!!!!!! :-)

[sajhak]

Thannks... excellent video...!

[emekajji]

great lesson!

[hockeychoppa007]

hehe fingering choices

[zackh29325]

If i may ask. Is there anyway you can give the names of all the Suspended chords lol. I need to learn them...

[stellasweeny]

Thnx Justin now i know x) !

[CheetosWiitard]

THANX MAN UR F**KIN AWSOME DUDE!!! I BEEN LOOKIN FOR A VID LIKE THIS!!! XD

[realjuvelive]

Thanks ! my teacher though! but what is the riff?

[OysterLava]

Thanks Justin. Now I know! Been playing for years but never really knew the theory behind these chords.

[kennyvandossche]

you should mention the songs you demonstrate here in the description or in the labels or so. would be easier to find

[xGoD4CoD4x]

Cheers Justin :D I'f i had money i would donate buddy :D

[emansandude]

Thining hair :(

[TommittajaFIN]

what chord is it if it's barred at like 7 and A, D and G are all on 9. what is that?

[realjuvelive]

Why it's called suspended ??

[realjuvelive]

Well what's the purpose of these things ? sus ..maj7 or m7 ???

personally I know the major and minor only..

[TommittajaFIN]

@realjuvelive

do you know intervals? if you do, it means that maj7 has a seventh note (as intervals), so there is one note more, at the 7th interval. (correct me if wrong). sus is just a different kind of a chord. i don't remember

[realjuvelive]

@TommittajaFIN Well I know that interval it means the distance between two notes but I don't really know when to use it and I don't know if that was true when you say maj7 ?? If you play piano you will know in the moonlight sonata for example uses the interval in the left hand and it's called harmonic interval octave !

[sagetajr]

what type of guitar is that justin?

[sammyboy980]

hey so can some1 help me with something? why is it that some sus chords have different numbers? such as an Asus2 and an Asus7 and Asus9 and whatnot

[superdome65]

@sammyboy980 because the 2,7and 9 are different notes that are added... like.. take a Csus2,,, you are adding the second... and for lets say a Csus7.. you are adding the 7th and same for the 9th for a Csus9.... for the Csus9.. you are adding a D note after the octave... its like a Csus2 only it is after the octave... if this made any sense to you...

[sammyboy980]

@superdome65 that makes perfect sense! thanks a lot

[superdome65]

@sammyboy980 after i wrote it and posted it i was like... what the hell did i just write?

[iceymanjack]

amazing guitar lesson

[AlexGraftonMusic]

When using suspended chords do you only add the 4th or 2nd note of the chords or could you use the 5th, 6th, or 7th and stuff or are those not called suspended chords? :)

[stevalianarbone]

Glad I sus ed out this lesson amazing!!!

[SWAMPL0RD]

your videos are great!

im so glad to have stumbled upon them!

your an excellent teacher, and i love the combo of being able to see the lesson on paper and in video. helps tremendously!!!

[rabbiphilio]

Just for experiment, I wrote a tune with only sus chords (sus2 or sus4), no majors or minors whatsoever. This tune does however have a kind of E minor undertone because of E and G found in the E minor scale. The chords are Esus4, Dsus4, Gsus2 and Asus4. I play it on my 12 string and it makes the music sound endless or indecisive of the mood which made it all the more interesting. Major and minors were always used but i decided to try with neither one.

[NordicT]

some "certain" subliminal signals make me want to buy DR strings...:P

[nickatron]

ahhhhhh i get it now!!! thanks Justin!!

[bomber99uk]

cheers mate.. good teacher .. 10

[321godt]

[koomnav]

One of the best lessons Ive ever seen....EXCELLENT lesson.....Thank you

[LindaLooUK]

My dear boy, what are you wearing on your feet! :-D I presume they're sheepskin slipper booties?!

Useful and clear explanation of the Sus chords, well done.

[speaker3600]

good stuff to know

[RandomUser990]

Those DR strings just staring toward the audience, almost like they were plugging themselves. Thanks, Justin.

[theoak84]

which chords are commonly suspended in a given key? does anyone know?

[OTATre]

i would think that Sus chords are usable in any key you can suspend any chord

[Szartard]

Asian dudes with machine guns = Yakuza, but yeah, they could be Triads.

[Tarantulus666]

japanese = yakuza, chinese = triads

[gchstrumpet]

hahaha asian dudes with machine guns

Alone and Easy Target by the Foo Fighters uses D and Dsus2 as well.

[fordmustang116]

ur website is very helpful thanks

[thegimprevolt]

Brilliant video (and funny too!)

[googoogagmouth]

good video

[Th0mas457]

about the summer 69 , he mutes the notes with his palm

[bigntall08]

so for a suspended 7th chord do you take away the 3rd and add the 7th? or is it a sus2sus4 or something? I've been looking everywhere and no one can explain what a sus7 is i'd appreciate ur help, thanks

[thegimprevolt]

The 7th is not in the basic triad - it's an addition; I'm sure you've confused something along the way.

[bigntall08]

that's what i thought but i was playing in the pit for some musical and sus7 chords kept coming up. Oh well it's over now I just played a 7 chord with a sus4 and no one noticed so I went with it

[Brizraen]

"Triads are not Asian dudes with machine guns.... In a musical sense." :P

[laesperanzapaz]

HALPP!!!! Can you post a pic of your hand doing a 5th-string root barre chord on minor??? How do you roll your 3rd finger for three strings.... :((((

[jake987722]

Yes, sus means suspended. Normally chords will be notated as sus4 or sus2. If a chord is simply followed by "sus" without a number, it usually means sus4.

[PiercingTruth]

does "sus" mean suspended? is there a sign when you write it on some music paper?

thanks

[audioslaverockband]

hey good lesson now i have in idea of how to suspend chords justin way to g

[u2u2bbbb]

Hi Justin! You're cool man...Best guitar teacher I have ever encountered on the net. Awesome lessons! Cheers. You're brilliant!

[dunkiep]

Well I enjoyed that very much, Justin. I don't know why some amberciles have to be so rude.

[XXJarHead13XX]

lol no not asian dudes with machine guns

[midnightrider56]

I am a psychiatric patient, and these lessons are really good but with the medication im on at the moment and the way i feel, i cant even play with myself.

[superjoelucky12]

when you play this kind of stuff it makes me put away my electric guitar and get out my acoustic

[MusicGuru12]

Cheers! Great lesson! :D

[jordanmackie]

Another very good example of suspended chords being used as riffs is the very beginning of the crimson by atreyu

:)

awsome vid as per usual Justin

[CMRbuzz7]

what guitar are you using?

[nachoteran89]

Other examples include Happy Christmas (War is Over) by John Lennon and Street Spirit (Fade Out) by Radiohead. Great vid, by the way.

[cavenagy]

GREAT!!!

[greenday5454]

man i am so confused (its not you) guitar playing is really hard

[AttentionSpan]

Rofl asian dudes with machineguns

[scarface2007josh]

your lessons are kool i hav recenctly brought a guitar and ive learend well thnx :)

[jacobromu]

paint it black is not really a good example, because the reapeated note is sympathetic from the sitar, and it is harmonic minor... not really chord derived.

[JustinSandercoe]

don't be so fucking pedantic ;) you think i didn't know that?

[madwill4444]

@JustinSandercoe

lol, you're so fucking cool man.

[KIFulgore]

Hey Justin, I've been playing guitar for 9 years and I think I should've started taking lessons years ago, lol. I learn so much from your videos, loved the pinch harmonics vid.

[otfender]

You are too much. Thanks!

[bernardooo]

lmaooo azn dudes with machine guns XD

[XtremeVenom]

[drpepper4413]

Thamk you very much buddy.

[xiltrox]

Thanks Justin, excellent lesson. Tell us about more of those twisted chords like major 7th and minor 7ths etc.

[DannyRana]

Thanks Justin....Thanks a lot! Really helped me in understanding sus. Salute to U..

[ihitge]

Thanks Justin, Please teach us Paint it Black when you get chance.
