[MercutioUK2006]

As usual - clear, concise and helpful :D

[spoddie]

It's Dsus2/F#.

The F# is a pedal note (piano terminology) and is not the third. As there is no third in the chord, the E is acting as the third - hence sus2 - not acting as the added ninth.

[arcopizzicato]

D/G sounds good too

[predjee]

My g with a base base sounds completly different what am i doing wrong

[Fldzpln11]

good video, and a beautiful guitar. inlays are neat

[alonsb2006]

Honestly, these videos are bloody FANTASTIC.

You're a truly professional teacher.

Hi Justin, using the the "thumb over" technique to play the d/F# chord, if im not supposed to strum the A string, how do i mute it or not strum into it ? Should I be muting this string with the same thumb ?

[brobro565656]

How can you possibly dislike this video ? I don't understand some folks.

At 26, I'm self-teaching myself how to play and if it wasn't for these invaluable FREE lessons given by AMAZING tutors like JUSTIN, playing guitar would only be a pipe dream for many of us.

Just last week, I was wondering why John Meyer sometimes uses his thumb to play chords....I had a no one to ask, so this remained unanswered until I watched this video.....D / F#.... :)

You must be a complete Moron to click dislike.

[spoddie]

@musiccalgary You're a fucking moron. You came on here misunderstanding and not bothering to read the context of my comments and now you are trying to lecture me on suspended chords, which you don't understand. The quote above supports exactly what I said, the difference between sus2 and add9 is the third. Funny how wikipedia is a useful source when you think it supports your case but you quietly ignore it when it doesn't.

What's your problem, moron? You have OCD or maternal separation issues?

[musiccalgary]

@spoddie No spoddie, you are simply misunderstanding. The third is not an inclusion. It (or the root) is simply where the suspended note typically leads. (not always) Suspended chords are derived from counterpoint where a voice is "suspended" from the previous chord -- ergo "suspended".

Further, in modern practice jazzers can include a 3 in a suspended chord (and do) to add density. This also adds dissonance though, to what extent depends on the voicing, whether the 4 is above/below the 3, etc.

[spoddie]

@musiccalgary from same article you were too lazy to read properly

"In traditional music theory the inclusion of the third in either chord would negate the suspension, so such chords would be called added ninth and added eleventh chords instead."

[musiccalgary]

@spoddie Terrible stuff to say, I wish you some happiness and peace brother.

End of day we're all here to learn from Justin, whom I consider absolutely superb. So let's avoid mean stuff and just leave the thread for that, eh? At least out of respect for Justin.
