What Are Sus or Suspended Chords?
Added 2018-05-29 19:17:21 +0000 UTCHello friends,
And welcome back to Swiftlessons for another mini-music theory tutorial. In today’s session I’ll be explaining "sus" or suspended chords – how they are built from the major scale, and how they can be used to embellish basic chord progressions. Let’s get started!

2018-06-02 05:05:19 +0000 UTComg !! I just started to see you lessons, dont know if you talk about a topic: Compose process, i really beleive that a riff, or little idea (motive in portuguese direct translation) comes, like spiritual thing, and i havent seen anybody talking about creation process, well, im going ahead, i will see all, Jesus ! YOu really make it easy , easier, im stupied, took time to learn anything,
2018-06-02 05:05:14 +0000 UTCThanks for the positive feedback Tom, this is some of my favorite stuff to teach!
2018-06-02 02:54:12 +0000 UTCYou’ve given me so many good lesson ideas and so much inspiration Dawn, thank you!
2018-06-02 02:53:43 +0000 UTCMy pleasure, I love teaching theory! Expect a follow up on diminished, augmented and other harmonies.
2018-06-02 02:52:49 +0000 UTCVery good lesson Rob. Untill now I never understood the theory behind sus chords. Thanks.
2018-05-30 14:36:00 +0000 UTCRob, I think these theory lessons are terrific. I can't tell you how often I go back and review your pdfs too. Piece by piece, you make all this stuff make sense. If ever you have the time, I'd love a lesson that helps extract melodies from scales and harmonizing chords. I'd love to learn how to combine strumming and picking melody notes together. Thanks as always for having the most professional instruction here.
