    Suspended chords use the 4th scale degree instead of the 3rd. A suspended chord contains a perfect 4th interval between the root and 4th note, and a major 2nd interval between the 4th note and 5th note. For example, a D suspended chord (Dsus) contains the notes D, G, and A, forming a perfect 4th from D to G and a major 2nd from G to A.

    Suspended  Chords  
     
    Suspended  chords  use  the  4th  scale  degree  instead  of  the  3rd.  The  intervals  between  the  
    chord  tones  are:  
     
    • A  Perfect  4th  between  the  root  and  the  4th    
    • A  Major  2nd  between  the  4th  and  the  5th  
     
    For  example,  when  we  add  a  4th  instead  of  a  3rd  in  a  D  Major  triad,  we  get  a  Dsus:  
     

     
     
      Perfect  4th     Major  2nd    
     
     
     
                                           Dsus  
     
      A  (5)  
      G  (4)
