All chords More G# chordsDescription and theory
G#sus2 is equivalent to A flat sus 2nd. G#sus2 can be seen as an G# major triad with the third (C) replaced by the second (A#). 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 G# and D# doublings.
Notice that the diagram starts at the 11th fret rather than the 1st fret.
Short notation: X 11 13 13 11 11.
