Scales to Play Over C#sus2

Every chord is a subset of several scales: any scale that contains all of a chord's tones fits over it. Pick a chord to see the matching scales from its own root, the major keys the chord belongs to, and full fretboard diagrams for every scale on guitar.

A C#sus2 chord contains the notes C# – D# – G#. Any scale that includes every one of those 3 tones fits over it — from the root C#, that means C# Major, C# Natural Minor, C# Melodic Minor, C# Harmonic Minor, C# Major Pentatonic, C# Rock 'n' Roll, C# Dorian, C# Lydian, C# Mixolydian, C# Dorian Bebop, C# Mixolydian Bebop and C# Gypsy Minor. Start with the first scale listed: it is the most common choice, and the others color the same chord tones differently.

C#sus2 is also diatonic to 5 major keys: B major (relative minor G#m), C# major (relative minor A#m), E major (relative minor C#m), F# major (relative minor D#m), G# major (relative minor Fm). In a song from one of those keys you can also solo with the key's own major scale or its relative minor pentatonic across the whole progression, not just this chord.
