Description: My pro theory + songwriting course bit.ly/2J2Nctn Enroll in my Rhythm Training Course at ANY price! bit.ly/3wDacU4 I’ve posted a PDF with charts and more at my Patreon: patreon.com/posts/30192877 Get my Ultimate Modal Poster! bit.ly/2zhk9JV This is part one of a two part class on suspended chords. We go through the fundamentals of sus2 and sus4 chords, how they are built, how they fit into our keys, and some insight into how we can write music with them. In the next video, we’re going to “break the rules” and suffer the conseqeunces. We’ll also look at other ways of utilizing sus chords, and also explore things that are related to sus chords, like add9 chords. To properly understand this video, you should first know about the major scale and scale degrees: youtu.be/tojM1qapHSU And also how to write chords in major keys: youtu.be/M8eItITv8QA Thanks to my friend Jeff Schwertfeger AKA BeardStank again for helping me with this one. It always sounds way nicer to have real drums on these tracks when possible. It takes a lot more time to record and produce and mix real drums but it’s good practice and it’s fun work. One nugget of info that I forgot to include in these videos- if you play a sus2 chord in 2nd inversion, it now has the structure of a sus4 chord. Likewise, if you play a sus4 chord in 1st in version, it has the structure of a sus2. These videos are sponsored by my patreon subscribers. They are wonderful folks who we can all thank for making these videos possible.
