What notes are in Esus2?

Esus2, E suspended second, is E, F♯ and B: the root (E), the major second (F♯) and the perfect fifth (B). Its formula is 1 2 5.

Is Esus2 the same as Eadd9?

No, though the names point at the same extra note, F♯. Esus2 leaves out the third, so it is neither major nor minor; Eadd9 keeps the third, G♯, and adds the ninth on top.

Where does Esus2 go?

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