Even if you know the basics, make sure you stick around till the end of this video to see some sus chord flexibility! Also you'll see a freak video editing glitch that I'm leaviing in. I really don't want to re-render and re-upload this video as ugly as it is, It's just a huge pain to do that and means I wouldn't be able to repost this video till tomorrow, so enjoy the huge ugly error :)

I'm a drummer and all your words make me feel really stupid, but when I hear the examples, I get it. It's making it easier to communicate with my bass player on how we can make changes to spice up what we are working on. I know sus ment suspended, but didnt know how to get there and now I do. Thanks for all the videos my man they're much appreciated.

I love Rick’s video series where he breaks down “What makes this some great” as well as his insight on the music industry, but his channel is not really a teaching class. Jake breaks it down and teaches it for anyone. Btw... buy his poster. It makes you feel musically smarter. 🤣Worth it!🤩

I posted almost the same thing without looking at the comments. Every time he hits it and lets it hang out... ah...

The wigs, glasses, and froggytoad are great! You really nailed their application for the minor variation, too!

This is a clear, concise, bite sized explanation of sus2 and sus4 chords. Adding examples of their uses, icing on the cake. Good lesson!

you have done what my University teachers did in a semester worth of work within a 12-minute video thankyou

Everyone asking “what is the vii chord” but not “how is the vii chord”

I love how you treat modes with casualty on your videos. It really shows how it's just something else about music, and not "something the average dude doesn't do". I just composed my very first piece using the knowledge from your videos and it ended up being Lydian. I didn't choose it, but once I realized what I was going for, everything became much easier.

How you break things down so simply really helps. Things that seemed hard or confusing, make total sense with your videos. You're killing it. Great layout for videos, quick and to the point. You rock dude

Perfect timing: I was just this morning fiddling with inserting sus chords into a progression I've been working on, for some of that serene shimmer. Let me add my voice to the chorus of praise, Jake. I've been playing for 30 years, learnt a fair bit of theory in that time, but nothing and nobody makes it all hang together with with such simple clarity as you do. Great stuff.

The thing I like most about suspended chords is that sus2 chords are just inverted sus4 chords. So you can do a smooth key change with something like A-minor -> Asus2 -> Esus4 -> E-major.

2:33 OMG I HAVE THAT SAME STUFFED SNAKE (by the way I love your lessons Jake)

I love having something i have heard all my life being explained with music theory, so i can understand it and apply it where ever I want. Thank you truly so much!!! Those who don't know theory, don't know what they don't know!!!

Dude you made me smile and jump up to show my wife when you said they sound "gospely and Churchy", because when I tell people Dimebag not only favored these "gospel" chords but wrote one of the greatest solos in all of rock history in Floods. That song was my intro to suspended chords and months and months (and months) of trying to teach myself something so complex where simply memorizing fret numbers blew up in my face. Back to square 1 it was lol

Lizzio is king,I'm 54 yrs old, finally learning the right way while having the most fun ever with revisting my disorganized originals. Making steady progress

God I love that Lydian Version… This and Piano with Johnny are probably my favourite KZread Channels. Thanks 🙏

dude, not only Jake knows a fucking lot of music theory but has the amazing talent to explain it and make it sound as clear as water! Hands down the best online teacher (y)

One of the songs I've written, "Across the Field of Glass", makes heavy usage of suspended chords in the verses, and I think of it every time I hear an Asus2 chord now. It's really like you said- it has this fragile, shimmering sound, so weightless and vulnerable. Suspended chords are really beautiful and I think people should use them more!

Yet another superb video that simplifies the seemingly complicated.

I love how BeardStank takes off his sunglasses at the end to reveal Lydian-strength prescription sunglasses underneath, while Lydian Jake puts ~on~ his Lydian-strength specs. Hilarious and at the same time an absolutely amazing sound.

Mr Lizzio, I was in dire need of this. Subbing to you was one of the only good decisions I've made in my life! :D

I love the suspended sound. As a kid I remember listening to all kinds of blues rock stuff- cool and all- but then my mom comes home with Moving Pictures. The Camera Eye changed my life.

Your lessons are THE BEST. The fact that you back up the theory stuff with quality, FUN demonstrations featuring some excellent guitar playing is doubly impressive.

Oh man !! you made that "sus chords" lesson so easy and quick to understand. Music is a skill, but pedagogy is an other one and you have it all. cheers from Paris/France.

Man, I love how you guys can get crazy tongue and cheek. But to be sure, YOU are the man for great and useful theory content for me!

You're one of the few people that I have notifications on, your content is gold.

This channel blows me away. For someone like me that knows the bare minimum when it comes to music theory, Jake makes everything so easy to understand.

Seeing these things with the tables that you make really help me visualise everything, thank you for doing what you're doing

I always feel like getting back to creating some new music after watching your videos. Such clear explanations and fun to watch. Thank you for posting

I was truly waiting for a video about sus chords. I learn a lot from every of your videos. Thanks a lot

the way you explain no one does on KZread .. thanks man !!

The best of youtube to learn how to compose. Playful, enlightening, visual, pure happiness. Thank you so much

The switch to the Minor and the Lydian in that song there is incredible.

The content on this channel is incredible. Amazing this is all free. Great, great job Jake.

Awesome to come home from work to. I love your chord videos. I was wondering if a suspended chord video would drop and here it is.

Another great video Jake! You are one of the best instructors on KZread! Thank you!

Great Stuff!..... Not only are you a great player but you have the gift of being able to teach.

Looking to make actual song creation interesting, I just looked up suspended chords. I was interested in their usage, ie where you can use them. This video was the result of my search. It was EXACTLY what I wanted to find! Thank you so much!

You really teach and play beautifully!!! Clear and understandable and when you play it out...your bring together with a full band sound that sounds professional with HIT QUALITY. THANK YOU for your incredible presentations!!!

kicking myself for not watching more Signals Music Studio vids on a regular basis. Jake is a brilliant teacher. Thank you Jake!

Best and most easily understood guitar theory lessons on KZread. Great job Jake!

Hi Jake, i've been watching a lot of your videos lately.... And it's helping me sooooooo much about the basics. I've skipped a lot and now i'm here. watching, learning and applying the basics. Thanks for your channel!

The most specific and comprehensive chords tutorials🙌 help A LOT!!

Thanks for making these videos, it's always well explained and inspiring. You and Paul Davids helped me regain interest in playing guitar after stagnating for quite a while.

Many many thanks for Your lessons. They are incredibly revealing, well thought out and very enjoyable. Your tutorials are for me the best I can find in the web.

This may be the very best music instruction video I have ever watched in my entire life. THANK YOU AGAIN, JAKE!

How phenomenal. I have watched a couple of your videos and I am truly amazed at your comprehension and your ability to quickly compute what fits and doesn't fit in major and minor keys. Thank you for helping us. It is awesome of people like you to help us make sense of what otherwise would be impossible to piece together.

Wow Jake. I love, really love your videos. Although I know about the sus chords, I find inspiration for teaching them. You are a great guy. Cheers from Germany.

Thanks for all the great videos. And you explain so great, and easily.

Hey man, they’re actually not that difficult to use. Basically treat them as dominants chords, they build tension that wants to be resolve. The difference is that they’re symmetrical, you can build a new aug chord every major third from the note you started, so you can use them to change keys.

I'd like to thank you for all this amazing content. I just started writing short songs and you're really putting everything I tried to put in my music by ear, into words and theory. By the way I am here thanks to Adam Neely's mention of your bro country video.

thank you for these videos! i'm a beginner in music theory and the way you explain it is very simple, with all the notations on the screen is so easy to follow!!! also love the intros!!

I watch every one of your videos. I really appreciate all of the hard work and information. You’re a great teacher

Your videos are really helping me. I've been studying music theory for a long time, but you do a great job at explaining, giving familiar examples of where we may have heard these things, and then practical application of what you're teaching. Great job and thank you!

What a GREAT vid! Love the way you covered the basic theory but also how to use it. Clear and helpful. Done so well. 👍👏

Jake, I freaking love our videos, your becoming my favorite KZread music teacher! You make great compositions

Another fantastic video that lays it out in a way I can understand. You always use the right language and graphics at the perfect pace. Thanks for doing what you do!

Great stuff Jake. This, and your other video’s help me so much develop in my song writing. My next song will surely start on a Sus2.

Literally was looking thru your channel last week for sus chords.. Also just ordered the modal poster!!

This was a brilliant presentation. It is the knowledge of musical context that makes it special. This stuff is applicable to many forms of music...

Loved this video. I felt i was stuck in my music journey since sometime but your channel is definitely expaning my horizon now. Thank you :)

Every single video I watch from you completely blows my mind you are a godsent

My go-to channel for learning guitar. Tnx bro, you're the best.

Just found your channel - and your theory lessons are terrific. I know you are working on a rhythm course and I look forward to investing in it when it comes out. Thank you from all those you've helped be better versions of themselves!

I have really grow to love his videos. His delivery is quick and clean. Thanks much!!!!

Wow! This was a GREAT video!!!! Very well done! I am a retired Music Teacher. I stumbled upon this video. I subscribed!

i can't get over the fact by how good of a teacher you are. i struggled with any theory no matter the lessons and after i found your channel i've learnt so much already. Thanks :)

Explained in such a crystal clear way thanks to what you did on the right side of the screen. Thanks a lot!

This dude has the best lessons fr lol. Excellent work! Love watching your videos! Thanks for sharing! Your effort in your lessons shows your passion for music and teaching, and I find that remarkably endearing and respectable. From all the student musicians out there, thank you!

Was really enjoying the video, and then I saw the random frog petting session during the jam... and now I'm REALLY enjoying this video.

You make theory easier to understand, still quite complex but it's very helpful in making more sense out of it

This is phenomenal. I've been a musician for years and even though this is all stuff I "know" per se, the way its presented here really opens my eyes to how I can more effectively use concepts like this in my own songwriting. Really well done, thank you!

I think your the best guitar teacher I've ever had or watched. Thank you for spending your time doing this 🎸🤘

Nice, nice tut! Your exemplification of the sequence of chords very artistic and convincing.

Wow these are legit, thorough, and saturated with audio and visual examples. Well done. Subbed!

loved the sound of the minor melody atop the sus chords, lovely sound there

8:10 That Bsus2 - F#Sus4 bit is absolutely divine

Man, this guy just oozes rock swagger. I kid...extremely knowledgeable guy whose importance can't be understated.

I can't believe this channel. You are helping me a lot in my studies. Thanks for all this stuff.

Right up there with all the other comments rooting for you. I really get the ideas at the pace you introduce them. This is tutorials done right. Bravo and thanks.

Great, from now on sus2 and sus4 make sense, and so much more ! Thank you so much Jake.

Excellent music theory & practical use lesson Jake! Thank you for all your lessons like this that simplify & demonstrate practical application of music theory. 👉👍🏽👍🏽👈

Hey Jake! I just want to say that your videos are top notch and you have an amazing radio voice!

Thank you for your videos! You know the definition of TEACHING. Self explanatory videos, good attitude, humble and talented! I hope i can buy my first electric guitar this year and learn from your videos. I still learn so much about music theory even not having a guitar. Thank you!

watching every video of you.. for me it is by this time the best channel on the whole platform honestly:) thank you!

What an amazing teacher you are!!!Thanks and Greetings from Greece.

Man, you have a gift for teaching. Straight to the point, easy references and practical applications. Damn!

Simply great stuff as ive come to expect from you.. and great production too.

I barely noticed the glitch, or the changes because I watched you two singers' antics. I love you guys, thanks to all who make this happen! You're all awesome!

Thank you for everything! All the things you teach are way better that what some people teaches for money

Hats off for you qualities as a presenter and a teacher. Your videos are not only super clear, but super relevent and full of practical applications and handy suggestions. Plus, I love your fake-hits compositions.
