How to play E♭sus2 on ukulele

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

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

What notes are in E♭sus2?

E♭sus2, 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 E♭sus2 the same as E♭add9?

No, though the names point at the same extra note, F. E♭sus2 leaves out the third, so it is neither major nor minor; E♭add9 keeps the third, G, and adds the ninth on top.

Where does E♭sus2 go?

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