What's the difference between sus2 and add2? Doesn't the sus2 need to resolve to be considered a sus? Also, why not call them 9? Cause the 2 is lower in the chord I'm assuming.

[@NoahKellman]

Yeah really great questions- I used to call them add2 or add9. The reason I prefer sus2/III is because imo the sus2 implies a very specific shape: 1 2 5 7. I want that exact shape played with the III in the bass in this instance. So it’s really a personal choice for the sake of specificity.

​@NoahKellman yeah 1 2 5 7 with the 3rd in the bass is my favorite, maj7sus2/3 voicing

[@Arycke]

Doesn't need to resolve to be called sus. 1 2 5 7 is maj7sus2. It is a standalone chord that doesn't need to resolve the suspended 2 to the M3rd D9sus4 1 4 5 b7 9 it also is a standalone chord (sparing it resolving down a P5th or a b2) that doesn't need to resolve the 4th to the 3rd Modal sound. Yeah so technically it 1 2 5 7 / 3 has all the notes of a maj9 chord, but, it is a voicing thing. Maj7add2 would also be "correct," but rarely seen in actual practice and you'll just know the 2 is in the same octave as the root, or the MD will tell you if it matters.

[@Arycke]

In non classical pieces, sus doesn't need to resolve. In classical, the suspensions typically do resolve soon after they appear. (Some classical pieces have prolonged suspensions also). Exotic suspensions are Sus6 (sus13) Susb2 (susb9) Sus#4 (sus#11)

[@Arycke]

These are all directed at OP Mr. Kellman, to be clear, I shoulda said that lol

[@scottgray6276]

Oooooooo……you can do this with the pedals on a harp!

[@NoahKellman]

@@scottgray6276 wow no way! That’s super cool

[@scottgray6276]

@@NoahKellman, yes….once the string is plucked, you shift the pedal to #, flat, or natural, and the tone changes, without the addition of the percussive sound of the original pluck. The Children’s Hour by, Marcel Grandjany has examples.
