Featured Guitar Chord

The "sus"stands for sustained or suspended. In the old days (not the 1950's but the 1550's) there was no such thing as a Dsus2 chord. Though the same sound was created by carrying over a note form the previous chord into the new chord. In the following example the E note from the A chord is sustained into the next chord D. The E note then resolves up to the F# in the D chord. Now days the Dsus2 is used without preparation (the A chord) and without resolution (E resolving up to the F#).
