What is a 7 sus chord?
The Sus chord-- generally written sus7 on Jazz charts (or 7sus, or 7sus4) baffles a lot of people. ... The term suspended simply means that the chord does not contain a 3rd. The 3rd is replaced by the 4th, in which case that 4th is referred to as the suspension.
What does sus2 mean in chords?
Sus means suspended – what we are suspending here is the third of the chord, so a sus2 or sus4 chord is essentially a chord with “something else” instead of the third, which leads to it being less stable and not defined as major or minor. This “something else” can be the second or the fourth.
