About the F♯ suspended 2nd chord

Playing it

There’s no open-string way to play F♯sus2 on guitar with the root in the bass, so the standard shape is a barre across the 9th fret (x-9-11-11-9-9).

On piano, every note of F♯sus2 is a black key.

On ukulele the usual F♯sus2 shape is 1124, using four fingers.

Related chords

F♯sus2 contains exactly the same notes as C♯sus4. Which name fits depends on which note is in the bass and what key you’re in.

Move a single note and F♯sus2 becomes a different chord: swap G♯ for A♯ for F♯, raise G♯ to A for F♯m, swap G♯ for B for F♯sus4 and add A♯ for F♯add9.
