All chords More C# chordsDescription and theory
C#sus2 is equivalent to D flat sus 2nd. C#sus2 can be seen as a C# major triad with the third (F) replaced by the second (D#). It's usually played as a barre chord, whereas It's difficult to find natural fingerings for open chords.
Shown in the Fingerings diagram is a barre shape with the index finger laying over five strings – for the suspended 2nd chord, barre shapes with the root on the 6th strings is less suitable.
As shown in Notes diagram, three distinct notes are played with C# and G# doublings.
Notice that the diagram starts at the 4th fret rather than the 1st fret.
