This Jazz Piano Tutorial is about sus or suspended chords. These are chords where the 3rd is replaced with the 2nd or (usually) the 4th. These create a much more ambiguous and floating sound, which does not necessarily need to be resolved.\r
\r
In Jazz, sus chords are usually extended to sus9 or susb9 chords. These are generally voiced a F/G or D-7/G. The sus chord canas a substitute for the II or the V or both the II and the V in a II-V-I progression.\r
\r
Suspended chords create an interesting and, dare I say, suspenseful sound and are used quite often in modern jazz.\r
