◊ Root Note: F

◊ Major Second: G

◊ Perfect Fifth: C


A suspended 2nd chord differs from a major or minor chord in that its third has been replaced by a major second. If the third and second are both present, the chord is an add2:
  • F♭ADD2: F – G – A – C

  • FmADD2: F – G – A♭♭* – C

* See double-flat



A sus2 chord also doubles as an inversion of a sus4. For example, the second inversion of the F♭sus2 triad (C♭ – F♭ – G♭) is the root position of C♭sus4.
