Dialogue: 0,0:00:20.33,0:00:22.52,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,for any of you that know a bit of your music theory,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:22.52,0:00:25.86,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,'suspended' means: take away the third and replace with ..
Dialogue: 0,0:00:25.86,0:00:27.96,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Now chords are usually made up of
Dialogue: 0,0:00:27.96,0:00:29.58,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,a root, a third and a fifth
Dialogue: 0,0:00:29.58,0:00:31.39,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and it's the third of the chord that dictates
Dialogue: 0,0:00:31.39,0:00:34.35,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,whether a chord is considered major or minor.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:34.35,0:00:36.40,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, those of you that have done your exercise

Dialogue: 0,0:00:55.67,0:01:00.10,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and we're gonna start off with Asus4 and Asus2.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:01.49,0:01:03.54,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Okey-dokey, here we are looking at -

Dialogue: 0,0:01:09.34,0:01:11.39,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Now, if we are looking at a regular A
Dialogue: 0,0:01:11.39,0:01:13.04,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and we wanna play an Asus4
Dialogue: 0,0:01:13.04,0:01:14.84,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,we simply add our little finger
Dialogue: 0,0:01:14.84,0:01:17.05,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,on the 3rd fret of the 2nd string.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:17.05,0:01:22.34,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,. . .
Dialogue: 0,0:01:22.34,0:01:25.06,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Asus4, then we go back to regular A
Dialogue: 0,0:01:26.57,0:01:28.54,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and if we lift off our second finger
Dialogue: 0,0:01:29.82,0:01:32.08,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,we get our Asus2
Dialogue: 0,0:01:32.82,0:01:34.40,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and back to A.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:34.61,0:01:41.35,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,A, Asus 4, regular A, Asus2.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:41.35,0:01:44.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,If you have been doing this playing the A
Dialogue: 0,0:01:44.50,0:01:46.19,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,with your first and second fingers swapped over,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:46.19,0:01:50.13,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,there's your regular A, Asus4,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:50.13,0:01:52.46,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,just as easy to do it that way,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:52.46,0:01:57.09,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,here, and then lifting that same finger off for Asus2.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:57.09,0:02:00.29,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,. . .
Dialogue: 0,0:02:00.29,0:02:02.14,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Maybe, for you guys it feels the same,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:02.14,0:02:04.15,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,for me this one feels a lot more comfortable,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:04.15,0:02:06.16,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,probably 'cause that's the way I learned A
Dialogue: 0,0:02:06.16,0:02:07.58,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but just doing that there
Dialogue: 0,0:02:07.58,0:02:09.43,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,. . .
Dialogue: 0,0:02:09.43,0:02:12.05,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,feels pretty comfortably to me.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:14.25,0:02:16.32,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,OK, the next chord we're gonna check out
Dialogue: 0,0:02:16.32,0:02:20.87,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,after our Asus chord is a Dsus4 and Dsus2.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:20.87,0:02:22.49,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Very, very simple chords again
Dialogue: 0,0:02:22.49,0:02:24.16,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and you wait until we're finished doing this lesson
Dialogue: 0,0:02:24.16,0:02:25.19,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you know what the chords are,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:25.19,0:02:26.98,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I'll show you some really wicked way to use them.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:26.98,0:02:28.57,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, let's go to a close-up now
Dialogue: 0,0:02:28.57,0:02:31.78,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and look at our Dsus4 and our Dsus2.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:33.37,0:02:35.81,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, here's our D chord, our regular old D.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:35.81,0:02:38.89,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Now, if we wanna play Dsus4, all we do is
Dialogue: 0,0:02:38.89,0:02:42.56,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,add our little finger to the 3rd fret of the thinnest string.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:42.56,0:02:47.35,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So there's D, here's Dsus4,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:47.35,0:02:50.58,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,lift it off, we're back at regular D,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:50.58,0:02:56.66,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,lift off the second finger, we got Dsus2 and back to D.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:56.66,0:02:58.06,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, good finger practice here,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:58.06,0:03:06.57,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,we're doing D, sus4, regular D, sus2 and back to D again.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:07.74,0:03:10.42,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Now, the next chord we're gonna look at is Esus4.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:10.42,0:03:12.94,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Now, it's a kind of a bit of a funny situation here
Dialogue: 0,0:03:12.94,0:03:15.25,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because there's not actually a good way of playing
Dialogue: 0,0:03:15.25,0:03:18.31,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Esus2 as an open chord, just Esus4.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:18.31,0:03:20.15,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So that's the one we're gonna look at.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:20.15,0:03:22.58,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Of course it is possible but it's definitly not in the scope
Dialogue: 0,0:03:22.58,0:03:24.70,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,of doing things in a beginner's guitar course
Dialogue: 0,0:03:24.70,0:03:26.63,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because it's quite difficult to change to.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:26.63,0:03:29.39,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, we're just gonna be checking out Esus4.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:29.39,0:03:32.21,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, here we are. There's the regular E chord
Dialogue: 0,0:03:32.21,0:03:35.34,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and if we wanna go to an Esus4 all we're doing:
Dialogue: 0,0:03:35.34,0:03:37.98,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,adding little finger underneath there
Dialogue: 0,0:03:37.98,0:03:39.82,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,. . .
Dialogue: 0,0:03:39.82,0:03:45.86,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,There's your regular E, little finger: Esus4, back to E.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:45.86,0:03:51.17,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,. . .
Dialogue: 0,0:03:51.17,0:03:53.38,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Now, suspended chords, as you can hear,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:53.38,0:03:55.13,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,a kind of floaty sounding.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:55.13,0:03:57.27,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So first I go to a regular D chord
Dialogue: 0,0:03:57.27,0:03:59.09,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,. . .
Dialogue: 0,0:03:59.09,0:04:00.90,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and now if I go to a Dsus4
Dialogue: 0,0:04:00.90,0:04:07.95,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,. . .
Dialogue: 0,0:04:07.95,0:04:09.72,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,they hover around a bit.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:09.72,0:04:11.66,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,They're a little bit strange sounding chords.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:11.66,0:04:14.28,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,. . .
Dialogue: 0,0:04:14.28,0:04:15.74,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and they wanna resolve,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:15.74,0:04:17.97,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so you can hear Dsus4, they're really pulling to D
Dialogue: 0,0:04:17.97,0:04:22.49,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,. . .
Dialogue: 0,0:04:22.49,0:04:26.25,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, the first way that they're used is their own, you know,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:26.25,0:04:28.16,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,they can be a chord onto itself.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:28.16,0:04:30.84,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,If you wanna use it as part of your chord sequence
Dialogue: 0,0:04:30.84,0:04:32.56,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Bands like U2 and that sort of thing,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:32.56,0:04:34.65,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,they use a lot of suspended chords in their sound.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:34.65,0:04:36.82,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,They're really quite a hip sound, you know.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:36.82,0:04:39.32,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Crowded House, another one of my favourite bands,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:39.32,0:04:41.45,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,they use sus chords all the time as well
Dialogue: 0,0:04:41.45,0:04:43.58,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,'cause they're really airy and open sounding
Dialogue: 0,0:04:43.58,0:04:46.85,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because they're not considered either major or minor.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:46.85,0:04:48.35,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Now one of the things that you can
Dialogue: 0,0:04:48.35,0:04:50.55,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,also experiment with these ones is playing
Dialogue: 0,0:04:50.55,0:04:52.10,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,just then I was doing the major chords
Dialogue: 0,0:04:52.10,0:04:53.39,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and going to the minor chords
Dialogue: 0,0:04:53.39,0:04:55.19,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but you can just, sorry!
Dialogue: 0,0:04:55.19,0:04:57.72,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the major chords, then going to the sus chords
Dialogue: 0,0:04:57.72,0:05:00.07,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but you can do it just as easily with the minor chords.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:00.07,0:05:03.55,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, if we look at a close up, now here of D minor.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:03.55,0:05:05.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,There's Dmin chord,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:05.60,0:05:10.11,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,if we add our little finger there, there's Dsus4.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:10.11,0:05:12.51,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Same dots, different fingers.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:12.51,0:05:18.10,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,There's back to Dmin, there's Dsus2, and Dmin again.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:18.10,0:05:20.02,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Well it's exactly the same for Amin.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:20.02,0:05:27.68,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,There's Amin, there's Asus4, back to Amin,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:27.68,0:05:30.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,lift off first finger, there's Asus2.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:30.99,0:05:35.34,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,We got a Emin, there's Emin,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:35.34,0:05:40.33,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,add little finger, there's Esus4, back to Emin.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:41.50,0:05:43.71,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Now, suspended chords are very often used
Dialogue: 0,0:05:43.71,0:05:45.96,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to embellish a regular chord sequence
Dialogue: 0,0:05:45.96,0:05:48.19,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, if you are stuck on the one chord for ages
Dialogue: 0,0:05:48.19,0:05:49.48,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and you kind of get bored,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:49.48,0:05:51.19,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you can start to add in your sus chords.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:51.19,0:05:54.51,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So let's have a bit of a sequence that stays on D for a while
Dialogue: 0,0:05:57.57,0:06:00.14,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And after I'm starting to get a little bit bored with my D chord
Dialogue: 0,0:06:00.14,0:06:02.22,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and I'm looking to do something little different
Dialogue: 0,0:06:02.22,0:06:05.23,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I can start adding a sus4 and sus2
Dialogue: 0,0:06:05.23,0:06:06.83,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,whenever I feel like it
Dialogue: 0,0:06:06.83,0:06:15.21,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,. . .
Dialogue: 0,0:06:15.21,0:06:17.92,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Sometimes they get used quite quickly like
Dialogue: 0,0:06:20.02,0:06:22.95,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Sometimes you play and leave them for ages.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:22.95,0:06:30.35,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,. . .
Dialogue: 0,0:06:30.35,0:06:32.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Some people kind of make little riffs out of them.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:32.80,0:06:37.48,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,. . .
Dialogue: 0,0:06:37.48,0:06:39.58,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Loads and loads of different ways of using
Dialogue: 0,0:06:39.58,0:06:42.39,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,these little suspended chords.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:42.39,0:06:43.67,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,That was with the Dmajor
Dialogue: 0,0:06:43.67,0:06:47.70,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that I've just experimented with the Dsus4 and the Dsus2
Dialogue: 0,0:06:47.70,0:06:49.29,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I could have done it with the Dminor
Dialogue: 0,0:06:49.29,0:06:53.02,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and go on like this : here's D minor
Dialogue: 0,0:06:53.02,0:06:56.53,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to Aminor
Dialogue: 0,0:06:56.53,0:07:05.59,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,back to Dminor
Dialogue: 0,0:07:05.59,0:07:08.38,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,You can really experiment with these sus chords a whole lot
