This was the simplest, clearest, and most concise explanation of sus chords on the Internet. Thank you for it. 👏🏾👏🏾

Although I class myself as a lower end intermediate player, since discovering this fantastic website of Brian Kelly's several weeks ago, I have decided to go "back to basics". I intend to complete every lesson in this series, and hopefully learn how to play the instrument "properly" ... thanks for your efforts Brian, brilliant tutorials!!

[@iamandes4455]

Phil James I consider Brian’s lessons to be my most influential learning tools. I never thought I’d understand music theory as easily as Brian teaches it. I hope people see the value in Brian’s content and that his KZbin channel grows and trends!

[@sierraridgereaper]

@@iamandes4455 100% agree. He has an ability to teach in an understandable way. Since following I have improved 10 fold and I been pickin at the guitar for 30 plus yrs..

[@starsmash7491]

@@iamandes4455 he teaches it so simply. I used to be intimidated by theory, but it's actually really easy.

[@iamandes4455]

StarSMASH right on. I still find some theory difficult but these lessons Brian has definitely made it possible for me to get it. I wish Brian gets in to playing the chord of the moment type of playing. Say playing a blues and using the 1 and 4 chord scales. Or playing both major/minor in a blues. Amazing lessons. Brians lessons are definitely where it all started clicking for me 😊👍

@@iamandes4455 oh i still struggle as well and get very frustrated by this sorcery.

AMONGUS SUS

[@mikeyplacentia2167]

Who needs theory was my rationale, but I found out that theory is really important when jamming with people who already understood theory. I have found your videos to be the easiest to follow on KZbin. I was a believer of instructional music theory KZbin videos, after finally understanding the circle of fifths after watching your video once; it's made songwriting fun again. Thanks Dude 👍

[@MikefromAlabama]

Great theory lesson. You are a good teacher.

[@stfu5617]

Thanks bro, this is the lesson I was looking for. Clear simple explanation 🤘

[@glennevangelista]

Again, not just bits and pieces of info but a very comprehensive lesson. Theory and application! Thank you Brian!

[@zacksguitarhacks6390]

Awesome and concise! Incredible teaching skills!

[@craigewinger1206]

This is a great lesson on SUS chords. I like what you said about "removing the third note in the chord and add either the 2nd or 4th note"". I knew how to play some SUS chords but I always wondered what was the theory behind creating them. I am trying to learn ways to embellish chords and SUS chords is a big part of that. Thank you. Craig Ewinger

[@macjam9090]

great lesson . I have just discovered your site in the last few days i am in England(UK). Started playing the guitar again after 20 years.its like starting again as so much has changed with techniques etc. The way you show the theory first, then show the lesson then explain how to use it is terrific. I've learned in a few days what i didn't in 20 years. Thank you so much Brian.

[@martynspooner5822]

I cannot begin to tell you how much you have taught me. It is always clear and concise and has been truly appreciated Thanks

[@stewartlancaster2745]

Hi Brian, many thanks for this video this has been a great help...cheers Stewart

[@rogerramgoolam6939]

Excellent teaching style

[@wormcultist6637]

Always has excellent to the point lessons

[@chorderpopmusic1829]

There also have add#4(no3) chord (mathematically would be sus#4) that also can do function like sus chord Example Chord Progression is A Asus4 A | D Dadd#4(no3) D Dadd#4(no3) have note is D G# A In A Major sometime you may want to use Dadd#4(no3) chord in 4th chord of key A Major instead Dsus4 because Dsus4 have note G and G not in the key (you can use it if sound good) or another choice is using Dsus2 sus#4 would look easier to call but official name is add#4(no3)

[@k.lammers1379]

Well done, well explained. Spiced up my way of playing the guitar...👍

[@sadmanislam3226]

watching your videos feel like i'm actually having an in person tutoring session rather than just watching a video on youtube. many thanks

That Black & White song by Michael Jackson use both sus2 and sus4 a lot.

[@MarcelaImlaufova]

Nice one! I love sus chords.

GOD BLESS YOU BROTHER ! THANKS ! IT HELPS ME AAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

[@harshmittal4548]

Its brain kelly guys 😁❤ love this video

[@user-pk4sd9dd2w]

Brian, presume a sus2 chord using a minor second doesnt exist in music theory? tks!

[@cjhasmyheart]

Do sus chords necessarily need to resolve or just aid in resolving progressions?

[@lenleno2857]

Question..can you explain on the 5th fret when you created the first shape of the A sus 2...seems it can be also be E sus 4 in the D-shape

[@maxwellhogan5059]

Great video! Audio was a little off though

[@daleg.9673]

Thanks, I'm trying to use 5th fret bar chords for an A to A sus 4 change in the verse of Bad Co.'s Shooting Star. It might be played in open position, but the chords around it sound like bar chords. Not getting it to sound fat enough with F shape pinky toggle, so trying to switch into it from the same bar as the 6 string A. Or from a 5 string F shape. It's a tough transition, though. Trying to get it to sound like the record.

[@bruceallan8548]

So the Asus2 chord that you used on the bottom 3 strings is the same as a F#sus4 chord using the D-shape variation?

You could use a noise gate on those single coils, bruh. Otherwise, good video.

Hello bro..please..can you give guitar chord first intro the loner Gary more.. Please teacher🙏🙏

[@dreaminglifepodcast]

I call it the Pinball Wizard chord.

[@melodicman3032]

Hi Brian. I was checking your Sus video. Now the sus is no more intimidating ! I'm playing around with a chord progression cmajor, cmajor7, and C13sus2. I cant get my fingering correct on the C13sus2. I'm trying to play this whole progression where my open major chords are played ( 1,2,3 fret area). Can you send me some ideas ?

[@ganeshgurung6649]

If you barr that Asus4 chord then it becomes Dsus2 chord (from A shape) and barring Asus2 becomes Esus4 ( lowering Dsus4 shape) right? I came from different video so got bit confused ..any way Its good to know both ideas...thank you

[@alekborunda]

That's sus

Hahahaha. all these chords at mine fingers. yihihuahahaha
