Building Chords - Ch.3 | Part 5 (Spreads - Suspended Shapes)

Today we wrap up the spread triad types with Suspended. We go over the basic shapes and fingerings (especially one very popular sus2 shape) and how these shapes sound as standalone chords. I'll demonstrate some fun uses for these sounds that you have definitely heard before, and will hopefully enjoy. This was originally a longer video that I decided to split into two. The next video will focus on using Suspended to resolve to other chords, as well as creating 'Chord Embellishments' which will give you some awesome ways to add flavor to a basic chord shape. The video covers the following sections: Intro at 0:00, Sus 2 Shapes at 2:26, Sus 2 - Super Power Chord at 9:31, Sus 4 Shapes at 11:38, Sus 7 Shapes at 18:29, All Shapes at 22:56, As Inversions at 23:54, Sus 2 Standalone - Stack 5ths at 28:33, Sus 2 Standalone - Testing Fingerings at 32:42, Sus 2 Standalone - Play Instead of Normal Chords at 34:37, Sus 2 Standalone - Resolving to Maj or Min at 36:44, Sus 2 Standalone - With Open Strings at 37:41, Sus 2 Standalone - With Distortion at 40:33, Sus 2 Standalone - As Leads at 41:33, Sus 2 Standalone - As Leads over Pentatonic at 44:29, Sus 2 Standalone - Drop D at 46:39, Sus 4 and 7 Standalone at 51:06, Making Huge Sus Chords at 53:34.
