B sus2 Description

Welcome to our comprehensive guide on the B sus2 chord. As part of the family of suspended chords, the B sus2 chord is unique in its composition and sound. Rather than containing the typical root, third, and fifth of a major or minor chord, suspended chords like the B sus2 lack the third. Instead, they feature the root, a major second, and a perfect fifth.

The B sus2 chord is composed of the notes B, C#, and F#. These notes are built from the intervals of 1 (root), 2 (major second), and 5 (perfect fifth). For a more detailed explanation on how chords are built from intervals, you can refer to our guitar music theory tutorial.

Playing the B sus2 chord can be a bit more challenging than basic major or minor chords, but it provides a rich, open sound that can add depth to your music. This tutorial will guide you through chord diagrams and fretboard patterns to help you master the B sus2. If you need help understanding these diagrams and patterns, our fretboard intervals tutorial can be a great resource.
