What notes are in F♯sus2?
F♯sus2, F♯ suspended second, is F♯, G♯ and C♯: the root (F♯), the major second (G♯) and the perfect fifth (C♯). Its formula is 1 2 5.
Is F♯sus2 the same as F♯add9?
No, though the names point at the same extra note, G♯. F♯sus2 leaves out the third, so it is neither major nor minor; F♯add9 keeps the third, A♯, and adds the ninth on top.
Where does F♯sus2 go?
Often back to F♯ or F♯m, G♯ moving up to the third. It also works on its own as an open, ringing chord.
