Hey all,

I've got to learn some songs soon, all with a bunch of sus2 and sus4 chords. Just wondering if there is a way to do them with movable barre chords.

I've looked up most the open versions of sus chords and there's a different shape for each one.

Thanks for the help

I'm not sure that I get it correctly but here are my two cents ;)

One at least is movable form,
it's the shape 5-5-7-7-5-5
it's an "A sus4" (the third is moved from fret 6 to 7 and made it a "sus4") If you move this barre chord you get all the "sus4" chord"

I think 5-7-7-7-5-5 is the shape you mean. This alters the 5-7-7-7-5-5 shape by substituting a D for the C#.

It might be a little clearer to base the chords on the X-5-7-7-7-5 shape. That's a D major, of course. For a Dsus2, play
X-5-7-7-5-5; for a Dsus4, play X-5-7-7-8-5.
