A Sus2 Chord on Classical Guitar
Play A Sus2 on Classical Guitar: diagrams, finger positions, intervals, and every voicing up and down the neck for this instrument.
The A Sus2 chord is a suspended chord that swaps the third for a second or fourth, leaving the harmony open and unresolved. It is built from the notes A, B, E. This page shows how to play A Sus2 on Classical Guitar with clear fretboard diagrams and suggested finger positions.
The shape nearest the nut leaves the A, B and E strings open and takes the rest at fret 2. The E string stays silent, so 5 of 6 sound. The root is the A string itself. It sounds from A2 up to E4. 2 voicings are charted, the highest starting at fret 4.
It has nylon strings on a wider, flatter neck than a steel-string guitar, which is why it is played fingerstyle rather than with a pick.
Browse alternate voicings to find the one that sits best under your fingers, then compare it with the other chord types built on A or explore the same shape in nearby keys. The diagrams list the notes in each voicing so you can connect the shape to the theory behind it.
