◊ Root Note: B

◊ Major Second: C

◊ Perfect Fifth: F


A suspended 2nd chord differs from a major or minor chord in that its third has been replaced by a major second.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:
  • B♭ADD2: B – C – D – F

  • BmADD2: B – C – D – F

A sus2 chord also doubles as an inversion of a sus4. For example, the second inversion of the B♭sus2 triad (F – B♭ – C) is the root position of Fsus4.
