How to play B♭sus2 on baritone ukulele

The most common way, the first shape above: lay your index finger flat across the two strings from the B to the E at the 1st fret, your ring finger on the D string at the 3rd fret and your little finger on the G string at the 3rd fret.

From the D string 3 3 1 1 (x: not played, 0: open)

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.
