Beginner Sus Chords

Affirmative. :+1:

Fun Fact About this lesson for me: I did this lesson like in Feb or Jan, and my fingers were soo stiff, it was imposible to do the “sus4” with the pinky. I tried and tried, and give up, so moving onto the next lessons, going to Level 3, but doing the pinky workout and the finger gym exercises of L3 periodically. So one day I was doing strumming practice with the strumming machine doing randon chords (G,D,etc) and dont ask me how, but by mistake I did the D-Dsus4-D-Dsus2 haha, I dont know how but finally the pinky did it! So moral of the story people keep doing your finger exercises :smiley:

I recently heard the Lobo song “Me and You and a Dog Named Boo” on the radio and thought it sounded like a good beginner song to try (yes, I’m old). Unfortunately, Justin’s Songs doesn’t include it, but the main riff repeated throughout the song is D, Dsus4, and Dsus2. Strumming is D (d,u,d) Dsus4 (u), D (d), Dsus2 (u). There is also a part of the song where the same pattern is used for A, Asus4 and Asus2.
