Chord & FretCsus2sus4 on guitar
On the guitar, six strings give the chord room to breathe — some positions use them all, others ask you to mute the lowest ones. In this Csus2sus4 voicing the bass is C and the shape sits at fret 3, ringing 2 open strings. Its hollow wooden body gives every chord a warm, natural ring that blooms and fades on its own.
