What Are "sus" & "add" Chords? | Music Theory Lesson

Very clear presentation. I've been playing on and off guitar since 1979. I understand now what adds and suspended chords and the relationship within the key structure. Thank you Kennis!

[@kennisrussell]

Sure thing. Glad it helped.

You're doing a great job of presenting this systematically in a way that makes good sense

[@kennisrussell]

Thanks. I appreciate the encouragement.

Thanks Kennis, good info! Makes me harken back to 1982 when I was still in college....

[@kennisrussell]

Nice

[@electroKrunch]

@@kennisrussell Thanks for the refresher! I've been going through iterations of the major scale to spice up or augment minor pentatonic scales and hope to have a video on some of the work soon. Interested?

You do a great job explaining the concepts in your lessons. I just recently found your channel, and I really enjoy your videos. Thanks!

Also, even though I'm a guitarist, I have to admit that the aerial piano shots with the whiteboard in frame are really helpful. The piano layout makes it easy to see how the notes comprise the chord.

[@kennisrussell]

That’s great. I’m glad it is helpful. Thanks for watching.

I found your presentation very helpful. It would have been great to see you also demonstrate it on guitar, but I know enough 🎹 about keyboard to find it helpful. Ignore that rude comment you read aloud. That person also has faults such as being rude. That person has probably built a wall around themself by being caustic towards others. That person is probably alone, which is sad. Anyway, thanks for the instruction.

[@kennisrussell]

Thanks for the encouragement.

Thank you! I've been playing French horn for 30 years, and just recently decided to pick up the guitar, so all this chord stuff is new to me. There's one thing I've been seeing you didn't mention. What does Cadd9 mean? Does that simply mean add a 2 one octave higher?
