In this piano tutorial, we talk about sus chords, sus4 & sus2. Sus is short for suspended and they are neither major or minor. If you ever see a 'sus' with no number, this is normally referring to a sus4.
To play a sus chord you have to omit the 3rd and replace it with either the 2nd or 4th.
Suspended chords are unresolved chords, meaning they want to go somewhere else for a resolution. There are many ways to resolve these chords, but some the most common ways are to either resolve down to the 5th below, or just lower/raise the 2nd/4th back to the 3rd.

Excellent. Straight to the point and no droning on forever, thanks man.
That's the aim of the game! The least amount of irrelevant droning as possible haha! Glad you enjoyed the lesson :)
word. he should teach the other youtube tutors how to tutor.
Mark McCarrell >>> I dunno man.... yes I see your point, but sometimes speed in the fewest words possible isn’t always the name of the game. Sometimes the details are important too and if they take a tad longer to explain, then I’d rather come away learning more.
I think today’s society is too enthralled with a lack of delayed gratification, and your comment merely feeds into this.
That whole “lead, follow, or get out of the way” mentality that people have, really irks me.
as SUS as the chords are, i love them
like diminished chords, they're good for transition chords.
THANK YOU. I’ve never understood what a sus chord is! This is such a big help, I appreciate how you teach this.
My pleasure! I'm glad you enjoyed the lesson 😀
a... WHAT.. chord? 😓😟
Amogus
I am trying to learn FL Studio, in which i should know basic music theory and piano knowledge so i started to watch your chords for beginner playlist. Now i am ready to make my first song. Thank you soo much you helped me alot.

@@jayya1k thanks ☺️

I’m going to die
PLEASE STOP I BEG YOU
I was looking for that comment lol 😂😂😂

If you guys have any questions, just leave a comment below :)
Hey, What if Cmsus2? Are the notes are C,C#/Db,G? And Cmsus4 then it will be C chord because the notes are C,E,G? Thank you for the lesson.
Hey, What if Cmsus2 and Cmsus4? Cmsus2 will be notes are C,Db,G? And Cmsus4 would be C,E,G which means going back to normal C chord? Thank you for the lesson.
@@Nathan-ch7hu There's no such chord as a Cmsus 2 or Cmsus4. Why? Because a minor chord by definition contains the 3rd degree of a minor scale, while a sus chord by definition does not contain the 3rd degree of the scale. The 3rd is replaced by the 4th or the 2nd degree in a sus chord - that's what a sus chord is!
So even if you had started off with a minor chord, once you made it a 'sus' chord the third is no longer a part of chord so you end up with a plain old sus4 or sus2 chord. Hope that helps.
I found it kind of difficult to understand when am I going to move the third 1 hard step or 2 hard steps, what does that depend on? Since sometimes it is explained as 1st, 3rd and 5th and some others as 3-2 (gaps) :'(
Why is in f sus4 we move half way?
Very helpful even to me as a beginning 63-year-old ukulele player who took many piano lessons as a child. I’m often helped by picturing piano keys in my mind.
I really appreciate the graphical highlighting you do to make it clear which keys you are using!
that’s called synthesia! many people use it to show the notes played on the piano to make it easier for us to recognise it.
When I first started playing guitar the piano helped me to better understand harmony.
This is exactly the information I needed and right to the point. Much appreciated.
My pleasure :)
I feel like my eyes have been opened to a whole new world. I can actually understand what chords in guitar is too
if we learn theory like chords, intervals, modes and so many others, we can apply it to any instrument.
we just need to know HOW to put them to use cause we can’t play a piano like a guitar.
happy practicing!
Dude, you are such a great teacher. I just watched the whole chords for beginners playlist back to back, took practically no time at all, and feel fully confident in building chords from here on. It might take me a few seconds if you said one to me, but you gave all the building blocks in such an easily understandable way. Thank you so much.
Glad you found it useful! Keep up the good work 👍
Sus chords 😳
I love how you showed how to incorporate it into chord progressions. Very helpful, very awesome.
I imagine a vine boom whenever he says "sus"
I MUST MAKE A VIDEO ABOUT THAT
I've learned so much from you....thank you
No worries!
Amogus SUS
I just watched this whole playlist taking notes for myself. Thank you so much! I needed this not for playing the piano, but for figuring out the chords on the harp :)
You helped me a lot with these short yet super informative lessons. Love it!
brilliant, having half an idea to have a basic understanding of chords. real easy to get your head round, im a nube when it comes to piano and chords structures and this has really got me stepping of in the right direction.
The excellence of your videos are the fact that they are “bite sized”, easy to digest even for me.
I watched 3 of your videos so far lesson 1 2 and 3 , you are such a gifted teacher. I have learned so much and you made it so easy . May God bless you with abundance.
Sussy chords! My favorite sussiest chord is sus#4, that awesome Lydian scale have.
Thanks. Although i'm kinda aware of these things, a lesson like this is always welcome :)
5:02 the A Sus makes it sound so much more interesting!! Wow 🧡🧡🧡
much appreciated . this playlist taught me the basics in minutes which school took years to teach,, thanks a lot man
It's my pleasure! Glad to help :)
Wow I appreciate all of this beginners playlist it does really taught me❤.

You’re a fantastic teacher. Love it and subscribed
Well done. Explained clearly. Thank you.
No worries, glad you enjoyed it 😀
Sus!11!!!1
Wow! man, you are a great teacher, I learned a lot of basics in a short time straight to the point and clear no roller coaster explanations. thanks man.
No worries, my pleasure! 🙏
For some reason, I associate these chords with those scenes in motivational sports movies when the coach is giving life advice to the team. Thanks for the vid 👍
Also one thing I notice: the major triad sound happier, minor triad sadder, and in the same way the sus4 has more half notes spaced out in the lower part and sounds happier, like a major triad does which also has more half notes spaced out in the lower part, and a sus2 sounds sadder and it has fewer half notes in the lower part like a minor.
Thanks for the EASY explanation!!
Gsus christ this was a very helpful video!
Perfectly explained thank you
why did i think he said “moving back to the KFC” at 2:34
Because you're hungry. Go have a drumstick
So I'm not the only one... :O

@@brysonj9460 “Key of C” also know as the very famous fast food restaurant called “KFC”

U r great teacher ❤

*The Among Us Effect*
good explanation
I'm a little confused. You say: “to resolve to a 5th below” - but an Fmaj7 chord is not a 5th of Cmaj. You play a Csus4, then a Csus2, and then resolve to an Fmaj7. I can’t figure out how the Fmaj7 is a 5th. A 5th of what? “F” in the Cmaj Scale is a 4th. Please clarify. Thanks.
Hi Patrick, when I say it resolves to a 5th below, you have to imagine the C chord being the 5th. If you were playing in the key of F, C would be the 5th... therefore F is a 5th below C. Hope this helps :)
I now understand how you got there. The terminology seems a bit confusing. You're basically saying that a suspended chord can be considered a 5th chord, and that it resolves to its major below. Or it can be considered a derivative of its major, and can resolve to its major. No need for further explanation, I think I understand. Thanks. FYI: I really enjoy your lessons. Very informative.
Glad I could be of service :)
You seem to have gotten this down but lemme just add how I got my head around this when I needed it back in my guitar playing days. :)
It was explained to me that this is what is called an "inverted interval" (google will tell you more) and when you invert a perfect interval you again get a perfect interval. In this case, a 5th below is a 4th above. As you noticed, F isn't the 5th of C when going upward but it is a 4th of C when going upward. This 4th above is indeed equivalent to 5th below. HTH!
Great explanation :)
GOD BLESS YOUR SOUL
oh my god these chords are beautiful
Glad you liked them!
Why when you do a sus4 you go up a semitone but when you do a sus2 you go down a tone? Sorry for my English
Easily understood, Great lesson! 👍
You teach very well. Thank you.
Very helpful and concise, thank you
Excellent info. Thank you
Thanks, these are very useful tutorials
This video is very useful.
I have a question. How do you just play different rhythms when play two different chords? My teacher tells me but it just doesn't make any sense. Is there any videos or if you have any explanation of how to do these things.
Great, as usual - many thanks, you have a great teaching style...
Thanks dude! 🙏
Very useful 👍
Replace 3rd with 2 (sus2) or 4(sus4).
4:50 example of progression withoi and with.

That's so helpful. Many thanks
Great lesson. I followed right along. I think with a bit of practice, by god I'll have it!
Thanks. Sadly like most videos Kim like this they lack onscreen chord notation as they are being played; got lost 1/3 the way through.
thank you
I prrfee ur method. Thank you very much
thank you so much for this!

Great tutorial - many thanks!
No problem!
Thanks for making this tutorial. Best one so far! Please make more
Just simple piano pig so good
sus4=major triad with 3rd up a half step
sus2+major triad with 3rd down a whole step
Thanks bro i have learned a lot from this video.
What’s up :)! I have been having trouble with hand independence lately, can you make a video to try to help with that? Have a good day!
Hey man! Good suggestion, I will add it on to my list of videos to make :)
PianoPig Thanks!
Love ya! Keep up the great work, you cheeky bloke!
Hahaha thanks bro 🙂
So helpful ...
Heyyy !! I'm looking this great tuto from France and hopping there will be an other tuto of blues or jazz links ! Your tuto are so clear and so nice, continue like that !
Hey Thomas, good to hear you are enjoying the lessons :)
I sure do have other lessons on blues & jazz. Here is a one on the blues scale: czcams.com/video/CjJwxtahGtw/video.html
And here is a jazz one on a 251 chord progression: czcams.com/video/BjN2dU83Y9w/video.html
Hope you find them useful :)
Very good
excellent tutorial
Is it true in all cases to achieve a Sus2 the middle note is moved back by 2 semitones and to achieve a Sus4 the middle note is moved forward by only 1 semitone. Thank you.
