If you&#8217;re a gospel musician, you&#8217;ll also need to learn how suspended chords are applied in contemporary christian music.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Attention:<\/strong> This lesson is written with beginners in mind. Therefore, intermediate and advanced players might not benefit much from it.<\/p>\n<p>In case you&#8217;re just coming across the term &#8220;suspended chord&#8221; for the first time, I guarantee you that this lesson is specially dedicated to you and that&#8217;s why we&#8217;re starting out with the definition of suspended chords.<\/p>\n<h2><em>&#8220;So, What Are Suspended Chords?&#8221;<\/em><\/h2>\n<p>A suspended chord is a product of the omission of the third tone of a major or minor chord. For example, when the C major triad:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,E,G,,&amp;color=FF6633&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;or C minor triad:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,Eb,G,,&amp;color=FF6633&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;is played without a third tone, this produces C-G:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,G,,&amp;color=FF6633&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;a perfect fifth interval.<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;But That&#8217;s Not All&#8230;&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The omitted third tone is replaced with the following options:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The second tone<\/p>\n<p>The fourth tone<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&#8230;and the replacement of the third tone with these options produces two suspended chord types:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The suspended 2nd chord (sus2 chord)<\/p>\n<p>The suspended 4th chord (sus4 chord)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Let&#8217;s take a closer look at these suspended chord types.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Attention:<\/strong> To learn more about suspended chords and other chord types, I recommend that you get our 500+ page course: The &#8220;Official Guide To Piano Playing.&#8221; [thrive_2step id=&#8217;18141&#8242;]<span style=\"color: #0000ff\">Click here to let us know.<\/span>[\/thrive_2step]<\/p>\n<h3>The Suspended 2nd Chord<\/h3>\n<p>When the third tone of a major or minor triad is replaced with the second tone of the major or minor scale, this produces the suspended 2nd chord.<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;Take A Look&#8230;&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Replacing the third tone of the C major triad:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,E,G,,&amp;color=FF6633&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;which is E:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,E,,&amp;color=FF6633&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;or the third tone of the C minor triad:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,E,G,,&amp;color=FF6633&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;which is Eb:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,Eb,,&amp;color=FF6633&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;with the second tone of the scale (which is D):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,D,,&amp;color=FF6633&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;produces the C suspended 2nd chord:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,D,G,,&amp;color=FF6633&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nEvery other suspended 2nd chord can be formed in this manner.<\/p>\n<h3>The Suspended 4th Chord<\/h3>\n<p>In the suspended 4th chord, the third tone of the major or minor triad is replaced with the fourth tone of the major and minor scale.

tone is omitted; therefore, it neither has a major quality nor a minor quality.<\/p>\n<p>So, a given suspended chord can be played over a variety of bass notes and we&#8217;ll be learning how they can
