This is part one of a two part class on suspended chords. We go through the fundamentals of sus2 and sus4 chords, how they are built, how they fit into our keys, and some insight into how we can write music with them. In the next video, weâre going to âbreak the rulesâ and suffer the conseqeunces. Weâll also look at other ways of utilizing sus chords, and also explore things that are related to sus chords, like add9 chords.
To properly understand this video, you should first know about the major scale and scale degrees:    â˘Â Learn Scale Degrees- Music Theory for... Â
And also how to write chords in major keys:    â˘Â How To Write Chord Progressions - Son... Â
Thanks to my friend Jeff Schwertfeger AKA BeardStank again for helping me with this one. It always sounds way nicer to have real drums on these tracks when possible. It takes a lot more time to record and produce and mix real drums but itâs good practice and itâs fun work.
One nugget of info that I forgot to include in these videos- if you play a sus2 chord in 2nd inversion, it now has the structure of a sus4 chord. Likewise, if you play a sus4 chord in 1st in version, it has the structure of a sus2.

This channel is âindisputably â the best music/ guitar theory channel on YouTube. Rick Beato is awesome, but to me, Jakes lessons are easier to grasp. Thanks for another superb lesson!

Trying to add vibrato to a keyboard. That's how you know your brain thinks in guitar terms.

One thing I love about your lessons is how you change keys. I can't stand any more lessons in C major and A minor.

Asus2 is the opening chord for the Tristram theme from Diablo. Instant nostalgia flashbacks when you strummed that.

I have gone from knowing zero theory and actually thought it was something beyond me until I discovered Jakes channel.
I now have a small handle on some of it and owe this man bigtime
Thanks so much I am truly grateful.

this guy is hands down outstanding, he encompasses musical knowledge and talent and his delivery is next to none, this channel is on a league of its own

Everyone needs a friend like Beardstank!

This is a clear, concise, bite sized explanation of sus2 and sus4 chords. Adding examples of their uses, icing on the cake. Good lesson!

I love how you treat modes with casualty on your videos. It really shows how it's just something else about music, and not "something the average dude doesn't do". I just composed my very first piece using the knowledge from your videos and it ended up being Lydian. I didn't choose it, but once I realized what I was going for, everything became much easier.

The wigs, glasses, and froggytoad are great! You really nailed their application for the minor variation, too!

Perfect timing: I was just this morning fiddling with inserting sus chords into a progression I've been working on, for some of that serene shimmer. Let me add my voice to the chorus of praise, Jake. I've been playing for 30 years, learnt a fair bit of theory in that time, but nothing and nobody makes it all hang together with with such simple clarity as you do. Great stuff.

How you break things down so simply really helps. Things that seemed hard or confusing, make total sense with your videos. You're killing it. Great layout for videos, quick and to the point. You rock dude

Everyone asking âwhat is the vii chordâ but not âhow is the vii chordâ

What a GREAT vid! Love the way you covered the basic theory but also how to use it. Clear and helpful. Done so well. đđ
|
You make it clear Jale and much more, as usual !!!!! Thank you.

Right up there with all the other comments rooting for you. I really get the ideas at the pace you introduce them. This is tutorials done right. Bravo and thanks.

I was truly waiting for a video about sus chords. I learn a lot from every of your videos. Thanks a lot

Dude you made me smile and jump up to show my wife when you said they sound "gospely and Churchy", because when I tell people Dimebag not only favored these "gospel" chords but wrote one of the greatest solos in all of rock history in Floods. That song was my intro to suspended chords and months and months (and months) of trying to teach myself something so complex where simply memorizing fret numbers blew up in my face. Back to square 1 it was lol

The content on this channel is incredible. Amazing this is all free. Great, great job Jake.

Even if you know the basics, make sure you stick around till the end of this video to see some sus chord flexibility! Also you'll see a freak video editing glitch that I'm leaviing in. I really don't want to re-render and re-upload this video as ugly as it is, It's just a huge pain to do that and means I wouldn't be able to repost this video till tomorrow, so enjoy the huge ugly error :)
