G Sus2 Chord

How the G Sus2 chord is built: its notes, its interval structure, and where it fits.

The G Sus2 chord contains 3 notes: G – A – D. It belongs to the suspended family of chord qualities. Like every chord, it is defined by the distances (intervals) between its notes, not by any one instrument — which is why the same formula names the chord whether it is voiced on a fretboard, a keyboard, or a choir.
