Hey guys, just a question on sus2 and sus4 chords, I find them quite difficult to tell apart. Personally I try to mentally take apart the notes which takes quite some time, or feel out where the tonal cluster is and flip a coin.
Does anyone have any tips on this, or it's just a matter of practice?
My personal suggestion would be to understand how they relate to the major chord. Although they have similar chord qualities, and are interchangeable with their closest circle of fifths neighbor, they suspend two different resolution notes (the 3rd in sus4; the root in sus2).
Once you get a grasp of where the suspended note wants to resolve to, you'll better understand how different they sound.
To my ears, the sus4 is much more subtle and embelished, way more pulling to resolution, very often used in music to add a little tension to a section's final chord. Whereas the sus2 is just interesting, very stable by itself but also a little mysterious and sparking curiosity, giving you a sense of indetermination, it doesn't really pull to resolution as the sus4 does.
These are tough, I will say on chordelius ot helped me to use the compare after you get them wrong to help you tell the difference.
What Sebastian mentioned was my problem, I was getting the notes right but not in the right order. Also, hearing the character was tough for me, but eventually a combination of listening for character/figuring out what notes were in the chord got me past those levels in chordelius.
Hey, tonegym can't credit me for watching some of the lectures because I get a message that the publisher has blocked them in my country (lectures 9 and 10). This happens when I try to watch the lectures on the Tonegym website. However, after manually entering the lecture titles in the YouTube search bar, I can find them and watch them directly on YouTube without any problems.
Will I be able to complete the program on the tonegym website without officially watching these two lectures? (And maybe some others I haven't gotten to yet.)
