How to play F♯sus2 on guitar
The most common way, the first shape above: lay your index finger flat across the four strings from the D to the high E at the 4th fret, your ring finger on the G string at the 6th fret and your little finger on the B string at the 7th fret. Don’t play the low E and A strings.

An easier F♯sus2
The full shape is a barre chord, hard at first. This one needs no full barre and sounds much the same: your little finger on the D string at the 4th fret, your index finger on the G string at the 1st fret, your middle finger on the B string at the 2nd fret and your ring finger on the high E string at the 2nd fret. Don’t play the low E and A strings.

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.
