How to play Dsus2 on 7-string guitar

The most common way, the first shape above: your middle finger on the low B string at the 3rd fret, your index finger on the G string at the 2nd fret and your ring finger on the high B string at the 3rd fret. Let the A, D and high E strings ring open. Don’t play the low E string.

What notes are in Dsus2?

Dsus2, D suspended second, is D, E and A: the root (D), the major second (E) and the perfect fifth (A). Its formula is 1 2 5.

Is Dsus2 the same as Dadd9?

No, though the names point at the same extra note, E. Dsus2 leaves out the third, so it is neither major nor minor; Dadd9 keeps the third, F♯, and adds the ninth on top.

Where does Dsus2 go?

Often back to D or Dm, E moving up to the third. It also works on its own as an open, ringing chord.
