LoG's Guitar Extravaganza

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

Added 2025-08-15 14:00:21 +0000 UTC

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.
