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