How to play F♯sus2
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.
