I was suspended a lot in high school. It did bring tension.
I pray your situation was resolved.
you mean "de tension"
Were you hot for da teacher to relieve da tension?
Mike Roberti very very witty, I was also suspended for various years in high school. The infusion here is “hi” or hiatus.
Sounds like you needed more G sus in your life : )
When the sus4 chord resolves to a major triad! 😳
SUSSY
I love that, god damn.
that’s a bit sussy
Unfunny
I personally like it more when it resolves to a minor triad.
This was two years ahead of its time, incredible.
Got a new laptop, I've heard it's pretty good for making moving music.
It's an Asus.

Sometimes listening to you I feel like I'm back in chemistry class and feeling overwhelmed
I get that feeling too: stuff goes by too fast for me in these videos, and it's like being given a homework assignment at the end of class :-)
My guitar mentor taught me three important things about learning the guitar:
1. You will never completely master the guitar.
2. If you remember 20% of what I teach you, you're a genius.
3. Get comfortable with being uncomfortable.
This was after I expressed that I felt like I was "drowning" in an infinite sea of things that I might never learn or ever use.
Once I accepted that complete mastery is impossible, and that I won't remember it all, I began to relax and ended up learning more. Remaining overwhelmed will lead you to a situation known as "Mathematics Anxiety," where the anxiety actually gets in the way of your learning.
For beginners, take in as much of what Rick says as possible. Should you ever start formal studies, you'll encounter things that you've seen or heard about before. A lot of it is just assigning labels to things you may have already known.
Best of luck.
DrumWild thanks. In my case, this stuff is quite a bit beyond the music classes I took 30 years ago while getting my computer science degree. Old dog new tricks time...
@@DrumWild except for Guthrie Govan
Organic Chemistry. Gsus.
Oh no, E flat 11. Don’t tell Adam Neely
Good one :D
It wasn't Eb Major 11, it was just a sus ;) the notation was off

@@aarnimustakallio7769 yeah.
I don't understand half of the things he's saying, but his charisma and enthusiasm is more than enough to keep my attention
Sorry I know I'm a year late but I can explain it.
A "suspended chord" basically removes the 3rd note in the chord, and replaces it with another note depending on the number at the end.
For example,
A minor consists of A, C, E.
Let's say we make it Asus4.
It would be
A, *D*, E.
Because the "4" at the end notifies us that the third note should be replaced with the 4th note. (Note after C)
Love your videos Rick.....I have no idea what the f%^k you're talking about musically most of the time but I still love watching.keep em comin : )
That's what I love about Rick. I used to be into learning music theory but haven't kept up with it in years and Rick's way of explaining things in a nice way for those who might not have a background in music theory.
That's the good thing, eventually, you start to understand more and more.
Very true, Rick has introduced me to tons of concepts. And especially what I like to think of as a "contemporary approach" to music theory.
personally, I love his videos, but they aren't good for beginners
Sounds like we all need to get the Beato Book.
I like when you show the notation in addition to the chord names! :)
twstdelf
Yes! Show the notation
"Oh, so you're studying music? Name the impostor"
i wish my brain could keep up with rick ...i've been augmented by the tension of the suspension modulating towards a resolution of consonance.
Lol don't be diminished👌
😂😂😂
That's a _minor_ problem....
Wow, great video! I love the variety of examples and explanations.
It is great that you two respect each other enough to comment on the other's videos. I am subscribed to both of your channels. Is there any chance of you two collaborating on a video together? Just asking
Do tell him.
Doesn't Angie stand out though? What a beautiful song...
great movie music example
Hi Nahre!!!
Rick, you are by far the easiest to listen to music teacher on youtube. Your lessons are so succinct and easy to digest that I have learned something every time I watch!
IM GOING TO FUCKING LOSE IT
The first sus chord I ever played was a Dsus4, when a friend taught me a brand-new song by Rush called _Fly By Night._ Been a fan of these types of chords ever since.
Rush are the kings of sus4/2 chords
The fact that I now know what a sus chord is is hard to believe, before watching Rick's channel I knew absolutely nothing.
I thought I knew. I was mistaken. 🙂
Same here.
When the chord is sus 🤨
I was hoping for a "Please sus-cribe". Alas.
This needs more likes.
no way
Sususususususususususus
U so sussy
Among Us ruined this chord. I'm so sorry.
Lol
I'm Rick's cousin what you said?
When the imposter is sus!😳
Rick Beato can pack for more musical enlightenment, inspiration and clarity in a twelve minute video than seems humanly possible. You have to marvel at his enthusiasm.
Today I learnt that the most talented musicians are hardly ever famous.
SUSSSS?!?!?! AMOGOS
Rick - you are an incredible teacher!!... period.... Many Thanks for sharing your time.
I wrote a song with the 4-3 resolution about 25+ yrs ago, and I'm just beginning the process of getting it recorded, having shelved it for no reason. This SUS Chords video is a great lesson.
Your music theory videos gave me an 'aha' moment this week. I have been trying to get a handle on this for 30 years. I bought your book last night as a result. Thanks Rick. Keep it up.
What an incredible teacher! When I first starting watching Rick’s channel I understood so little of what he was talking about, but less than a year later and I actually can follow along. Unbelievably, I understood a lot of this video. Absolutely the best music channel on CZcams for those interested in theory. And the Beato Book is an incredible resource for anyone, even a relative beginner like me. Thank you, Rick, for your fantastic content.
When the chord is sus
AirPod shotty you lookin real sussy
Brilliant, Rick. So often I used these chords not knowing why they work in my composition. It just feels, or sounds right for what the song dictates. You provide the music theory that I wish I had learned. Thanks.
I've always liked suspended chords, especially the sus2 & sus4 (both with and without the dominant 7th). To be honest, this video is the first time I've heard the sus4/9 explained. You nailed it!
Wonderful job on this video!
"All these suspended chords act like suspensions"
lol that's a good point. I'll keep that in mind.
Muy bien explicado rick. Love this video. Greetings from Chile
rick beato is a true gift to the world lf self taught youtube musicians. i love how you are an absolute stone cold genius, but you are humble and unassuming in the best way. i think this attitude is what has led you to a path of lifelong learning and mastery
Rick, you are awesome. Just wanted to have that said. It’s amazing to see all this musical talent combined in one super happy enthusiastic person.
Gods favorite guitar chord ....Gsus
Sus what???? Gotta put a number after that SUS.
@@KatalysstClub Gsus..3? Holy trinity hahah
Allen Marlin ...i just told the joke like i heard it, lol! But yeah...
Its an old as fuck joke, i can't believe anyone hasn't pointed that out,lol! I love this video btw and i love sus chords

Someone did, they just substitute Worship Band for God.
The tension created by SUS chords is the tension of uncertainty. It's as if, for a moment, you could be in a different key than you thought you were, or at least there is some ambiguity. The movement to resolution removes our uncertainty and lands us in a securely unambiguous place that relieves the tension of uncertainty.
Well said.
Living Beings Not so much uncertainty as anticipation for me...
Yeah, and that Isus4 = IVsus2 = VQ inversionary thing can set up some cool modulations/resolutions, sometimes to surprisingly remote areas. You get three chords, all tonally ambiguous with their own set of resolutions, for the price of one, I like to think.
John Foster Yeah, that’s what I thought! It’s similar to the tritone substitution, just like a black hole speedway junction to far away keys.
No for me it's the tension of asymmetry.
If you didn't know notes are frequencies of equal temperaments. All major chords have a similar frequency ratio and major chords have one too. They feel balanced because the lowest and highest notes of the chord are at the strongest interval the perfect fifth. It's so strong that using only root and fifth is called "power chord". The 3rd is placed as much symmetrically as possible between the two. It's either a bit below (minor) or a bit above (major) the perfect symmetrical middle frequency. But it's never perfect because there's no perfect symmetry between 7notes as it's an odd number. This slight asymmetry is what creates emotions in music.
All minor/major chords of a scale have a distinct feel because of the different root note they're based on. But even tough they have a distinct sound they all feel orderly and right in their place. When you play a sus it's a différent ratio and you break the symetrical balance.
Just like looking at thing all ordered perfectly and someone moves something over your brain wants thing to be in order again. It's used in color theory and in photography/cinema framing composition. Even clueless people will feel it even tough they don't know or can't explain. They will say it's subconscious, just like they will "feel" small character in a movie is the bad guy when the creators put many subtle clues of cinematic language to get us to think that. They can use it to play with us too.
Rick I’ve watched quite a few of your videos and they are always so informative, but when you start getting into film score territory you are speaking my language and touching my soul! Love the Thomas Newman Shawshank example. I wish you would do more film music examples, and seeing you play that part from Shawshank with the explanation is awesome!
This video was definitely a _little_ bit above my skill level (right now,) but since I have no formal training, this was an incredible introduction to Sus chords; allowing me much greater variation and versatility in my playing! Thank you so much Rick. Great content, as always!
The quality of the content on this channel just keeps getting better and better
Amazing as always Rick, I'll be waiting for the next class on sus chords.
I play a lot of stuff never resolving the sus chords. Makes the harmonies airy and open. Love it.
I actually prefer it, when they don't resolve. To me, it makes the tension created ramp up to desperation, so to speak. I don't know how else to describe it.
Thanks Rick! I love how you explain these with a variety of music styles. It's extremely helpful when you show their practical uses like this.
What's a worship teams favourite chord? Gsus :p
Oh! My! God!
😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂
friggen Joe ya brother!
I don't know. We love that "Stairway" [ Dsus2 - D - Dsus4 ] piece quite a bit, too. (yeah, I got the joke :) )

WHEN THE CHORDS ARE SUSSY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BUM BUM BUM BUM BUM BUM BUM, BUM BUM BUM, BUM BUM
I am so grateful for all the knowledge you have provided me throughout the last months I have been watching your videos Rick. Thanks so much for that.
I love it how you break down every note , every chord you give more clarification its not just a song it what goes into that song Wow we you made me open my ears up ..more jah love to you
I have no idea what you are talking about. And have no knowledge of music theory, but I am fascinated. Definitely.
I had to teach myself guitar and piano as a teenager. So I guess it is time to learn some music theory.
Can't believe you spoke about suspended chords and not a single mention of Zappa!
Love the videos by the way!
SUSpicious
imposter among us sussy
This is one of the most musical lessons i ve seen. So much knowledge served here!!
Always amazing stuff here. Thank you!
Rick Beato - Bonnie Raitt's version of "I Can't Make You Love Me," is a CLINIC on suspensions and dissonance, especially with the chords of Bruce Hornsby. That should make your series, "WHAT MAKES THIS SONG GREAT!" Amazing work. I'm a classical organist, but my first love was jazz and rock, so these videos are great tutorials.
Great call, such a perfect song!
Oh Rick we wanted you to shred that Stairway To Heaven solo haha ! Awesome video
Denied!
Damn right we did!!
Awesome teaching man! Thanks for your time and sharing.
Thanks rick for going above and beyond to make videos that make utube and quality music education better and more accessible for everyone.
He did not know what comedy would this video bring in two years
All the sus puns on here still never Csus to amaze me.
Thanks a lot for all your videos, Rick.
This one seems specially well organized to me. You're doing an amazing job.
This teaching format is absolutely fantastic.
Always loved the sound of a sus chord!
Yes, I do love the Sus chords very much. I was writing a song for acoustic guitar and a violin, and I thought that the song needed some color: replaced a few Am chords with Asus2's and boom, it worked like charm
This content is super complete, you start learning about the structure and a few moments later you are modulating, that's kind of insane
One of my favorite videos of yours. So focused, and so much information!
the other day a guy carrying a bible came up to me in the street and asked, "Son, have you found Gsus yet?" ... and I was like yeah, just omit the major third and play a perfect 4th or major 2nd instead....
This should be getting way more attention than it really is...hahahahahahahahaha
This comment needs more likes.
Magisterial that comment! You got that Bible basher sussed!
Technically a gsus is strictly the 4th. Gsus2 is always notated as sus2 while sus4 can be just “sus”
Wow! This is simply beautiful! Learned something new yet again. Thank you Rick Beato
Thank you so much for this . These videos are truly amazing and a resource we can return to over and over . So valuable. Thank you .
Alex Lifeson of Rush uses suspended chords pretty much in every song. He's a master of them in rock.
Would love to hear you do a video specifically on John Barry and what he achieved through his James Bond scores... Goldfinger, Thunderball, You Only Live Twice, & On Her Majesty's Secret Service all have terrific scores. And yes I was born in 1993!
YAH...great idea. Beato: Analyse that bad boys compositions in the Bond films, so distinct.
I love JB's Fun City. Great jazz.
Please make more videos like this. 10 mins, very informative and easy to comprehend. Thanks Rick!
I get so much out of your videos and for some reason this is the first time that I figured out pick up a guitar to follow along with your points. You are a fantastic teacher! Thank you professor!!!
If they are good enough for Alex Lifeson, they are good enough for me!
My thoughts exactly! the sus2 is pretty much his go-to chord, it ends up everywhere in Rush
When I was beginning playing guitar I always thought he was playing some secret complex chords and could not figure out. But I knew I was hearing something more than power chords and big bar chords LOL
@@RichTones same here
5:25 flying in a blue dream
2:35 if i could fly
Exactly!
Wonderful explanation and great to see you playing the instruments as well
I love watching you, brother. I am 55 years old and I am right there with you. I learn so much every time I watch and listen 🎶
guys whatever you do, do NOT sort these comments by new! 😳
in most cases. when peoples see your comments. they sort comments by new to see your comments.. so rip
You're right - I DO love SUS chords! THANKS for the VIDEO and keep up the great WORK!
This is the best explanation of SUS chords I have ever heard. The examples were outstanding.
Great video Rick, loving the Beato Book.
Thank you so much, my theory is weak and this has helped immensely. ✌️❤️&🤘
My ability to understand any of what he says is suspended.
yeah his "theory" is basically him playing some random chords on the piano and saying what he plays
not really for people who don't know any theory
@@KamilDeKerel Sadly, that's true. His videos are great, but as a beginner, I find them hard to follow.
topic here is like 4th year university. you already know prerequisite s
I’ve been watching for a long time, and am just catching on to a lot of this. Another good channel is New Jazz.
Just have to love you Rick, thank you for all that you have shared with us.
Ace video Rick, loved the Shawshank Redemption progression, moving the bass progression around in that leads to all kinds of wonderful voicings!
I never understood why everyone always told me "you sus! You fkg sus, man!"
I think they meant they really liked my sus chords.
Weird cause i played drums.
Ba' dum tsh
you kinda sus ngl 😳
this man was way ahead from his time
Wait a minute
2 YEARS AGO
this man living in the future
Good god I love this channel. Well done, Rick. :)
You are a great teacher! I love your commitment to the art. Cheers from New York!
Been meaning to watch this video for awhile, finally did ..great content Rick!
Sus chords are awesome....especially dominant 7 sus 4's!
3:18 That Csus#4 sounds so emotional when the chord C transitions to Csus#4 (or Cadd9 then Cadd9#11). That's why I really love Lydian scale/mode so much, it just sounds so ethereal.😍
Csus#4 is so beautifully sus😳
When he says “eMOtion” and “eMOtive” I swear I can almost hear him say amogus
The hell we went thru during rock and roll. We are thankful you are still there!
I joined the club today!!! So much great stuff here😀🎶🤘
I would Love a series Where rick Goes back in history and Breaksdown dark age music and the middle ages from everything in Europe across the middle east to the continent of asia and back to the native tribal people in the Americas I feel like this type of music has so much more to learn from everything from their hyms and rasps to the undeniable melodies All the dark and bright sounding qualities, Rick would be the man for this.
Great idea.
This video is a tumultuous ocean of complex jargon. I'm on a damn raft. Very interesting and engaging, though. You make me want to learn music theory.
Love this. I've always loved SUS chords. This explained a lot. Thanks Rick!
Awesome video Rick, I'm so glad your channel is growing.
